(review) Screaming at Traffic-I Don´t Like Sports(Little Rocket Records)

Screaming at Traffic from Canada just released their new record with Little Rocket Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This band comes from Winnipeg, Canada and they play a bit noisy, yet melodic and heartbreaking and heartwarming punkrock. The record contains 11 beautiful songs similar to the music of Menzingers, Nothington and similar bands. Meaning, melodic vocal lines, excellent personal lyrics, emotional atmosphere and tight musicianship. The songs that somehow stood out to me are Pantomime, Bitter, the title track and Monstrosity. This is not your fast paced skate hardcore punk, this is a different kind of punkrock. It is full of feelings, melodic, poetic and the overall vibe for me while listening to this record is kind of sad. Like it brings out to me all the sadness to the surface of my inner lake and then sending a wave to clear it up and bring me catharsis. That makes it really good and enjoyable record. So, if you are a fan of such music, go listen, write a word or two to the guys and show them you appreciate your work, I know they will appreciate it a lot.

(review) TRASHED AMBULANCE-Shorthanded(Thousand Islands Records)

Remember Trashed Ambulance from Canada? A while ago we did a review of their record here and an interview with the guys. Now, they have a new release with Thousand Islands Records and I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.

The new record is released also on limited cassette edition so be fast to get it. It contains 6 beautiful melodic punkrock songs, what pleases the most that it sounds more of 90-ies melodic skatepunk, not the metalic technical skatepunk played by most of the newer bands these days, not that I don´t love technical skatepunk, but I prefer this style. The melodies are fine, I love the nice interplay between main vocals and backing vocal harmonies and the mixture of personal serious stuff and humour in the lyrics of the songs. The songs that I somehow dig the most are Open Road, Buy In(excellent song about the scene with super lyrics) and Trash Queen. If you are into honest, melodic, heartwarming punkrock this one is yours and you only need to get it.
