Leave a comment

I must admit that I love split releases, whether they are split tapes, 3 way or 4 way split tapes. I love this release and I am really glad that I had a chance to listen and review this record for our zine.

PCT musique did a really nice job releasing this record by these three bands. There are six songs on this record, two of each bands. Talk Show Host is a melodic punkrock/skatepunk band from Toronto, Canada and we already featured them on the pages of this zine. Their two songs are tight, melodic, faster paced punkrock and I loved it, like all of their earlier material. Chump are from Belgium and I never heard of them prior to these songs but I loved both of them, especially Tony Sly dedicated to tragically passed away legend. I love you guys, this song brought tears to my eyes. Excellent melodic punkrock in it˙s finest form. Bias is a punkrock band from Toulouse, France. Their punkrock is melodic, with excellent singalong and harmonic backing vocals creating awesome melodies backed by energetic melodic punk.

Awesome record! Go get it!

9/10

(record review)BIRDS IN ROW-“We already lost the world”(Deathwish Inc)

Leave a comment

The European hardcore punk scene gave birth to many excellent bands and labels, so many individuals, promoters, zine makers and I just love that I live in the times when the scene is like the living being, constantly evolving, constantly changing and growing. Today I listened and reviewed the new Birds in row record for this webzine.

Cover

Birds in row are coming from Laval, France, and this new record contains nine new songs of exceptional hardcore punk emotions. These guys deliver their unique special brand of hardcore punk with many screamo, post hardcore, noise and dark pop influences. The vocals are screamed but heartfelt and somehow I managed to relate to the songs and fall into the atmosphere of this album. This is the very varied album considering the style, and it doesn˙t get boring, not one second! For me the highlights of the album are “We vs Us” with almost darkened pop beggining and “I don´t dance” for which you can watch the video below. This music is like darkened art. It sometimes falls hard upon the listener but it also drives you to listen to it again and discover new soundscapes you never heard before. A bit different hardcore but great, diversity is the beauty of our beloved scene.
