(record review)RELIANCE-Crashing Down e.p.

Reliance are punk band from Prescott, Arizona and I listened and reviewed their new record for this zine. If you like melodic punkrock, go for it, read the review and get this nice record!

This new e.p. contains 6 songs and the music Reliance are playing is neither fast nor slow melodic punkrock/skatepunk with beautiful verse and chorus melodies, sing along parts and this music is just made to make your day a bit better when you listen to this record. On some songs, like for example Once Blind which is one of my favorite songs on this record besides the title track, the guys somehow reminded me of old Pennywise records. The vocals are nice, the singer does that deeper, a bit harsher voice but also suitable for those melodies which made my skin crawl with goosebumps. As I understand while listening, the lyrics are of more personal nature and I love punk with heart and soul, I said it before and I will say it again. This is a damn fine record if you love melodic punk like I do.

9/10

(record review)Tragedy-Fury

I am sorry that I missed Tragedy gig in Zagreb a little bit more than one month ago, the people who were there told me that it was awesome. Now is the time to listen and review their new record for this zine.

For those who don˙t know, Tragedy are hardcore punk band from Portland, Oregon and the members have been around being veterans of the underground punk hardcore scene for many years playing in different bands like for example His Hero Is Gone. This time on the first new music after a long time, Tragedy bring us 6 new songs in their recognizable style, meaning hardcore punk crust with many melodic guitar hooks sounding almost epic and their political lyrics as always. I love how this band kept it˙s underground ethics, they don˙t rely on social media network like Facebook or Instagram, Twitter and similar stuff, but being true to what they sing about Tragedy has many fans and people love their music all over the world. For me the best song on this record are the title track and A Life Entombed.
