(record review)Coral Springs-Always Lost, Never Found

Leave a comment

Coral Springs from Holland are one of those bands that you fall in love with upon first listening, like I did when I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine. Read further on why and how that happened.

The spring is in the air and winter is dying, air is warm for a long afternoon walk and how it could be better then with some great melodic punkrock band. Coral Springs just released their new record with 12 songs of beautiful melodic punk/pop punk. The vocals on this record provided by the singer Jo are like angels choir to me, they take me to the land of fantasizing and make me believe in better tomorrow. The guitar melodies, harmonies, energy, choruses, everything on this record fits just perfectly and makes you smile and spin the record again and again and again. The best songs on this record in my opinion are I Lost Track, One Gesture and Ghost. Awesome!

(record review)Dutch melodic punksters Ink Bomb new e.p. Swim

Leave a comment

Ink Bomb is a melodic punk hardcore band coming from Nijmegen(Netherlands). Their new e.p.contains 4 songs of melodic punkrock done with heart and soul and emotion.

The lyrics are in English and I dont have lyric sheet but as I understand they are personal, emotional heartfelt lyrics with a slight political touch thrown in. The music is not so fast paced with fast drumming, although there are some faster paced songs. This is smart punkrock with head and tails and everything on this e.p.belongs right where it should be. What I like most on the record are the vocals, maybe it is just me, but I hear 80-ies synth pop bands, mainly Depeche Mode in the vocals of this band. I am sure it is just me, but I listened to this record at least four times in a row and that was the way I heard it.

Top songs on this e.p.for me are The Bleachers for which there is a video already featured on the pages of this zine and my personal favourite song is Heavy Crosses which I listened on repeat many times. To be sure, this is nothing new, nothing revolutionary, but it is punkrock with heart and soul and such bands will always have an impact on me.
