This is a little bit older release, but no matter, never too late for great music! I am listening to For I Am new album and I am amazed, with jaw dropped in admiration. This Belgian band played Beach stage at Punk Rock Holiday, but I missed their set unfortunately, I am so sorry for that after listening to this album. This music is melodic, highly contagious skatepunk/pop punk with fantastic vocals, courtesy of Hanne, she has one of the sweetest voices in the punkrock scene right now. This 15 songs are a lesson i how punkrock is done. From faster songs like Between Us or 1978 and fantastic P.I.G.O.T.R.Y. to slower more pop punk anthems like All About Perspectives with superb lyrics and melody, this album is hit from top to bottom. This is simple, old school melodic punk/skatepunk which we love, all of us who love more old school less technical sound with nineties vibe. Great record!
