Primetime Failure are back! And they are back with a blast! Memory Lane is the title of the new record out with Uncle M. I listened and reviewed the new record for our zine.
This band is special in my heart because they remind me and take me back to the times when I was a little dreamy kid and listening to Primetime Failure takes me back to that innocent time. Why? Because they play excellent melodic punkrock in the vein of all the 90-ies bands from that time, yet with 21st century resolution, freshness and great songwriting. The new record contains 8 songs and I just can´t decide which one is better. For me the highlights are Brad which sounds a bit like Good Riddance and I had to listen to it over and over how good it is. Also, the title song is a masterpiece in melodic punk. Bricking The Lord is also one of my favorites. The vocals are harsh but melodic and fit perfectly with higher sung backing harmonies, so I love it. The songs are total energy, yet not fast, but the record does not get boring or repetitive in any way. Awesome stuff!
Hailing from Idaho, these guys are playing great melodic punkrock with some pop punk influences. This record is an e.p. and it contains four songs. What is special about this band is, their lyrics are sports oriented hehe with a lot of fun but there are so great catchy guitar hooks and melodies, sing along anthemic choruses and awesome backing vocal harmonies that make this record really special. My favorites on this record are Where Did He Go(Tito) and also The Wizard Of Japan. But, you will have to listen all four songs and let this band in your ears, because they are worth it. I await eagerly for the full record!
