I just love South America and the scene over there with so many fantastic bands coming out and delivering their goods, we in Europe are not too familiar with and I love to discover new favorites there. This time, Da-Skate from Mercedes, Argentina released their new one with 12 songs of melodic hardcore/skate punk just the way it was meant to be. The song titles and lyrics are in Spanish language so I don´t understand what they are about since I don´t speak that wonderful language, but the music speaks for itself. Music of Da-Skate is melodic hardcore punk, leaning more on skate punk of nineties that I love so much and on which I grew up on. What immediately falls to ear and mind upon listening are vocals. This voice is so nice, melodic and sweet, but not cheesy or snotty, I love vocal lines, epic choruses and backing vocal harmonies like in one of my personal favorites La colina de las cruces. Also, these songs, mainly faster and strong, also have a certain dose of melancholy and sadness that continues for me throughout the record upon listening and I love that feeling, during some songs it made goosebumps on my skin really strong. This one is another jewel in the crown of skate punk underground. My personal favorites: La colina de las cruces, La verdad duele…, Vis pacem, para bellum.
