(review)LIFEWENTPEAR-About About

Bandpic 1 LIFEWENTPEAR

DIY punkrock strikes again! Lifewentpear are from Germany and they released their new record so it was about time for me to have a listen and review!  These guys play 10 songs of mainly midtempo melodic punk with some excursions into faster hardcore waters here and there in the song structures. The music kinda reminded me of Austrian band Deadends with ability to create sad smile upon my face, kind of unique melancholic sad feeling while listening to the record yet at the same time feeling better than ever, I just can`t explain that feeling with precision for you. The melodies are just beautiful, vocals are rough, raspy yet singing and I love how they sound. Backing vocal harmonies are done perfectly and I love kind of murky and gritty sound of the guitars and drums on the record. Great diy melodic punk jewel from the underground. Recommended songs: Treat objects like women, Procrastination Street, Mixed Feelings.

 

(review) COLDSIDE-A Call For Justice e.p.(Demons Run Amok)

One of the hardest hardcore bands from East Cost, COLDSIDE are back with this little three song record out with Demons Run Amok Entertainment. This e.p. is a kind of teaser and announcement for the new full length record scheduled to come out some time in 2020. The members of Coldside played in Wardogs, Vietnom, and C.B.S/Lita Gray, so they have tons of experience in creating quality, ever evolving streetcore with a lot of metal influences, yet remaining basically true to the streetpunk and oi roots so that makes this band a keeper among tons of other hardcore bands that are out there nowadays. This is great for keeping us entertained until the full length. I can˙t wait for it to come out!

8/10
