(record review)The Flatliners-“Mass Candescence e.p.”(Dine Alone Records)

Leave a comment

The Flatliners released their new e.p. via Dine Alone Records. I count myself lucky that I was able to listen and review the record for this webzine.

The record contains three songs and it practically continues where the current studio album “Inviting Light” left off. This means melodic punkrock with a lot of emotions behind the music and lyrics. “The Arousal of Repair” is for me the best song on this record being straight in the head and when I listen to this song I am talking about some classy punkrock forya. When I was a younger kid I didn´t like bands like The Flatliners because I thought that they were too slow and calm for my rebel punkrock taste. Nowadays things are different and I dig bands like these a lot. Frontman Chris Cresswell sounds better than ever and “Moves Too Quickly” is a song based on nice vocal melody and great guitar memorable melodies to support it. “Wide eyes” complete the album nicely creating that hole that just leaves you wanting more. I guess that is what makes this record great!

(new video and album-punkrock)DEAD GIRLS ACADEMY PREMIERE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “EVERYTHING”, album out on Victory Records

DEAD GIRLS ACADEMY have premiered their latest visual masterpiece ‘Everything,’ taken from their debut Alchemy. The album hit shelves tomorrow as the band prepare for the their second jaunt on the Vans Warped Tour starting next week, June 21, outside their L.A. hometown in Pomona, CA.

“Many times in my life I’ve been made to feel a lesser person, been told I’m a freak and spoken about negatively just because that person didn’t understand what I was about,” admits vocalist Michael Orlando. “There are so many different types of people in this world, however nobody is better than the other. ‘Everything’ points to the fact that we are all human and I strongly believe we should all have equal respect. It took many years for me to build a solid wall between these sorts of comments and people. When Ronnie (Radke) and I sat down to write, we wanted to speak truths and the truth is not always full of cherries. I want people to understand you’re not alone in this world. Hate is a low vibration and one that can be destroyed by understanding.”

Written and Produced by Ronnie Radke, Michael Orlando

Engineered by Tyler Smith

Mixed by Elvis Baskette

(record review)Clockwork Psycho-“The Hated”(Diablo Records)

Leave a comment

Clockwork Psycho had done so much in relatively small time. With their hard work, DIY ethics and fanatical devotion, they became one of the most appreciated psychobilly or punkabilly bands in Europe. They toured an awesome amount of time, played almost all the important psychobilly and punkrock festivals but at the same time they kept the punk roots in their music. I last heard and saw them live about almost two months ago when they played with Michale Graves in Zagreb and back then I was astonished with an great amount of energy they delivered in their new songs. Finally, this is their new album, out on Diablo Records, so I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

The record contains 12 songs. In my opinion, this is the most versatile Clockwork Psycho album until now. Besides always having the trademark Clockwork Psycho vibe, there are some surf influences for example in “Corpse Collector”, or awesome ska in “Bootstomp Man” and rockabilly in “Sin & Repent”. What I always liked about this trio is how much they enjoy their playing and enjoy when people appreciate what they do. Singer Lilith sounds better than ever, sometimes shouting angry like a fiendette from Hell, sometimes singing melodic like a fallen angel. Guitaris Al and drummer Marko are also singing and the three of them complete each other perfectly. For me the best songs on the album are “Knife Edge Mind”, “Lost”, “In the Pines” and above mentioned “Bootstomp Man”. Excellent album!
