Toilet Rats are hailing from Minnesota and this is their brand new opus. This is a bit different from other bands and projects reviewed on the pages of this webzine. This one offers 10 songs that are basically electro pop with horror lyrics, but also industrial and some horror punk thrown in with gothic for good measure. Vocals are beautiful almost other worldly and fit perfectly to the songs. The melodies are perfect and would be awesome in any horror punk band out there, even better. All of this sounds like a perfect soundtrack to the eighties horror movie, some slasher or creature feature. My personal favorites are Haunted Haus, Carol Kane, Sensory Overload. Good album for some who like it different.
Comminor are from Sweden and they played in Croatia once upon a time in Zagreb as I recall. This band started as a skatepunk unit once when they were formed in 2010.but now they evolved into some more modern version of pop punk with lost of melody and emotion behind the music, but still retaining punk harshness in song structures like in great The Cure for Bullshit. But, they also incorporate some electronics into their music and is is done smart and fits perfectly like in Party Mes Chers. In all of the songs Johanna´s melodic and Victor`s more screamed vocals interplay adds drama and intensity to the songs. There are couple more of my favorites on the record like Punk Rock Holiday(the song, yes!) and more darker Live Streamed Suicide. This is good modern punkrock record, proof that there is no old school or new school, there is one united scene with diversity which makes it rich in its existence.
