They carefully blended streetpunk, punkrock and hardcore into something new, like band being an entity in itself, although all members input their hearts into the existence of Protagonist. Let the past lie in past, it is time for them to turn their faces to the future and what better way to do that, than with new single called Killing Fields.

The song is a kind of celebration 10th anniversary of their 2009.album called The Chronicle, this single being an unreleased track from that session. The single will be available digitally on July 26th through Paper And Plastick.

Punknews stream the single, so have a listen: https://www.punknews.org/article/70293/streams-protagonist-the-killing-fields

(record review) Scared Shitless-A Night To Dismember

Scared Shitless are horrorpunk band from Pittsburgh and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine.

a3650526532_10

I must admit that I have never heard of this band with cool name prior to this record but I am now glad I did. This record contains five songs of metalic horrorpunk with riffs not unlike the newer phase of Misfits. But, not to say that this is one of them ´Fits clones, quite the contrary this band is original, melodic, great sounding and fresh like the stench of the few days dead cadaver. The songs like Picnic At The Gallows, Fallout Girl and Borden House are sure to become instant classics. The vocals are melodic yet rough sounding and have edge, almost partly growled in the middle of the title track and fit perfectly to the interesting song structures. Musicianship is tight, songs are fun, so there is the new band for your ears pleasure. Go grab this one, you won´t be sorry, the new wave of horrorpunk is so fresh and interesting!

8/10

New Jersey-based pop punk duo 18th & Addison have dropped a new video for “Leeches,” the first single off their upcoming Wiretap Records debut due out this fall.

Check out the “Leeches” video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z-Iai_MPUw&feature=youtu.be

“We really wanted to do something different then we usually do with our videos. We usually take a much more comedic approach but with this one we wanted to make it a bit more serious and tell a little bit of a darker story to drive home the vibe of the song.” – Kait DiBenedetto

“To sum up the concept, “Leeches” is a song about growth and progression towards a better future, a better sense of self no matter the cost. Out with the old and in with the new.”- Tom Kunzman

18th & Addison is an eclectic pop-rock/punk duo consisting of Tom Kunzman and Kait DiBenedetto. Fearlessly blending all of their musical influences from Punk Rock to 80’s New Wave to 90’s alternative and Power Pop, 18th & Addison are creating a style of music to proudly call their own. With their ferociously honest yet poetic lyrical content, unapologetic punch-in-the-gut guitar riffs and powerhouse drumming to drive it all home, they are proving that they are here to stay.

The duo has been releasing music since late 2014 and has produced two EPs and a full-length album independently amidst booking their own regional tours and shows in support of each one.

Upcoming shows:

7/27 – Rock The River – Toms River, NJ

8/24 – Shakers Pub – Oakdale, NY

9/6 The Brighton Bar- Long Branch, NJ (record release show)

9/13 – The Radio Room – Greenville, SC
