Downway released their new record, first album in 15 years with Thousand Islands Records. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.
This band is from Calgary, Alberta and they were formed in 1994. After five releases, four music videos, they disbanded in 2003. They were reformed for new victories in 2017. and this is the first new music album in 15 years.
The album contains intro plus eleven songs of pure 90-ies melodic punk hardcore which somehow became rare in these modern times, when everyone is playing this more modern technical metalic skatepunk. Well, time stopped and brought us back in the past for this jewel of an album with no holds barred, pure hearted melodic punk hardcore with a lot of awesome melodies, great personal lyrics that everyone can relate to, and above all, superb songwriting. I was totally surprised how excellent this album is, I expected something good, but not this good. If you are a fan of fast, at times mid tempo melodic punk, with nice vocals that express a lot of emotion to the lyrics they sing about, choruses you´ll sing along to, this album is the right one for you. My favorite songs: Black Taxes, Same Sky, Saying Your Name, Punk OG.

After the successful release of our EPs ‘Invincible Summer’ (2016) and ‘Swim’ (2017), Ink Bomb is ready for the next step. This next step is called Fiction. It’s their most ambitious, fastest, aggressive, catchy and fearless release yet.
“On Fiction, we have further developed our own sound. I can’t wait for the whole world to hear it!” singer Joost Hoedemaeckers says.
The title Fiction can be explained in multiple ways but mainly refers to the post-truth society of today. Science and journalism are coming under increasing pressure, while facts no longer seem crucial.
In addition, books, reading and fiction are indispensable for Ink Bomb members. Conversations on the road or backstage often are about a novel or other book that has been read by one of the musicians. Thus, fiction influences the lyrics of the band directly and indirectly.
It still takes a while before it is August 23rd. Luckily, the first single Griefwalker will be released next week, on Friday 31 May.
