We recently featured French punkrock veterans The Rebel Assholes on the pages of this zine when they released their great new video. Well, that video was taken from their new e.p. and here it is. There are 5 songs on this one. And if I might add, this is superb emotional punkrock with a lot of guts, grits and melody the way it was supposed to be. The songs are not fast, in fact they are more in the mid punkrock tempo reminding me of a more melodic side of Menzingers, Flatliners and Nothington respectfully. The songs that I love the most and which totally entered my ear and brain are Dysphoria, Needle In A Haystack and Heads On Pikes. This is a beautiful record done by fantastic band!
Young Harts are French band releasing their new record with Eternalis Records. The music of the band is emotional, melodic punkrock with a lot of heartfelt beautiful melodies, great vocal lines, super lyrics and I am somehow really glad having listened to this one because I love how this record sounds. There are 10 songs on this full length and if I must choose some songs that I can say are highlights of this record for me, those would be Intern and Loyalty Through Time. This is not fast drumming hardcore stuff, this is upbeat or mid tempo melodic punkrock with indie influences thrown in here and there for good measure. The lyrics are personal and I think everyone can find themselves in the songs and that is the most important thing. One thing that I must emphasize concerning this band are the vocals. I really, really love the singer´s voice, sounding somehow harsh, yer emotional, melodic and not cheesy at the same time.
Rebel Assholes are French punkrock veterans with over 500 shows done in Europe, Japan and China since 2003. They supported bands like Anti-Flag, Good Riddance, Satanic Surfers, Snuff, Beatsteaks, Lagwagon, Mad Caddies among others. Also, they did an extensive tour with Burning Heads in 2012./13. with more than 60 shows.
Now, they returned in 2019.with some line-up changes, guitarist Jean Rem is now the band´s singer. They also recorded a brand new 5 song e.p. (Headed for)dysphoria and they released brand new video for Heads on Pikes, song taken off the new e.p.
