(record review)The Shorts-Bunker Money(Thousand Islands Records)

Leave a comment

Canadian label Thousand Islands Records, although small, continues to release excellent records by the awesome bands. This time, we listened and reviewed the new record by the Australian punk band The Shorts. Read the review!

The Shorts - bunker -front

The record contains 9 songs of melodic punk with hardcore and skatepunk influences. This record is very diverse. There are some reggae influences in “Lenny the Shark”. My personal favorites on the record are “I don´t know why I do this anymore” being superb fast skatepunk anthem with the lyrics I can relate to, the other being “Wall Street” with the unusual but fine melody in the chorus and mid paced rythm. I also love the fast punkrock hymn “Silo”. This record is another proof that Australian punkrock/hardcore scene never ceases to amaze.

8/10

(record review)ASTPAI-“True Capacity”(Shield Recordings)

2 Comments

Austrian punkrock scene is awesome with the awesome bands like Deadends or Missstand melting our faces off. Now it is time for another legendary Austrian punkrock band ASTPAI to grace the pages of this webzine. “True Capacity” is their new album on Shield Recordings and I listened and reviewed it for this webzine.

Astpai played their debut live show back in 2001.and since then, this is their sixth studio album and the guys continue to amaze their fan base all over the world with their heartfelt, emotional punkrock with hardcore, some rock and post hardcore influences. This record contains 10 songs. As I said, there are some rock n roll influences to the songs like I heard in “Lottery”. For me, one of the best songs on this record is “No Hero” with beautiful lyrics and melodies about love being strong word that we use so often without meaning it unfortunately. This music is intense, emotional, cathartic and made from fans for the fans. Astpai music lies more in the punkrock reaches of The Menzingers, Nothington and similar bands, than fast skatepunk bands. Nonetheless this is an awesome record that I enjoy to listen. Other songs that stand out for me from the others are “Feel Your Pain” and “Wear and Tear” for which the video was made which you can watch below the review. I can˙t wait to catch these guys playing live somewhere. They played my country Croatia before but I just never went to their show. I am planning to correct that mistake very soon. Awesome record to clean you of bad thoughts, make your sadness easier, make you smile with hope and enjoy the beauty of punkrock!
