South America has an awesome, vastly undiscovered and big underground hardcore punk scene. Dry Life are coming from Brasil and I listened and reviewed their new record.

The record contains 12 songs and the music these guys play is melodic hardcore. By melodic hardcore I don´t mean here Californian skatepunk style, more of a melodic hardcore with punkrock influences and the songs and melodies made me sad and somber during listening. I know that this should not be the case, but that just happened.  I don´t understand what the guys are singing about, because all the lyrics are in Portuguese language but as I get the titles it is a mix of personal and political lyrics. The vocals are nice, neither shouted nor cheesy, so they fit with the music really, really well. The backing vocals and harmonies are also done like they should be done. For me, the highlights of the album are Sorrisos Perfeitos and Moda.

Nice record, get and listen to this one, the miles should not divide us, because the great music will always connect us!

8,5/10
