Taken By Vultures are from Boston and this is their brand new debut release featuring intro and three songs. They play punk rock with raw side to it, yet retaining enough melody. If I must compare them to something, it would be a mixture of Jughead´s Revenge and Blitzkid. Vocals are superb, neither too raspy nor too mellow, just the way they should be for these songs. Lyrics are more on a fun side of things, but there are some personal undertones beneath it all. My personal favorite is Half In The Bag with that haunting chorus that infects you to sing along all day long. Also, Grandpa Joe Is A Dirty Freeloader is much fun. Can´t wait for the full length release. Until then, enjoy this one.
Finnish metal band Deltrem has released new single “Carnal Delight” featuring guitar player Mikko Salovaara (Kiuas, Leverage, Metal De Facto) and singer Nea Pitkänen.
The band backgrounds the release: “With the first glance of Carnal Delight is about a fucked up diet. Everyone can interpret symbolic meaning themselves but personally for me its about the death of love in this world filled with vanity and tempations”
Good people at WTF Records just cannot stop releasing tons of great music. This time, Going Postal, band from NYC with their new opus of raw street smart hardcore. This e.p.is nineties influenced hardcore with lots more street punk influences but also has its momentary excursions into metal waters. I especially love Drowning In It, reminding me a lot of Warzone, one of my favorite bands from New York. This is simple, no bullshit, no holds barred undisputed hardcore with tendency to make you mosh, hug sweaty kid in the pit next to you and make your body flow with hardcore energy from your forehead to your toes. FTW is also one of personal favorites, being short but sweet punkrock influenced hardcore that we miss sometimes so much in today´s scene. This is pure old school hardcore with shadows of old bands like Killing Time, AF, Youth Of Today, Warzone and similar looking upon and smiling. Great release!
