Wish Upon A Star are punkrock band from Athens, Greece. This is their new record. There are six songs on this little record, enough to make you want more. Punk is a music of rebellion and Greece has survived a lot in the last couple of years to make your blood boil with anger, so Wish Upon A Star play a combination of melodic, yet angry punk. Bow To None is a hymn of never surrendering the fight, despite how the odds are heavy sometimes. Intruders is a fast hardcore punk song and one of my favorites on this record, really fantastic riff melody and angry yet melodic dual vocal lines are superb. The title song somehow reminded me of Ignite, newer albums, not vocally, but musically somehow, maybe it is only me. This song has beautiful chorus and backing vocal harmonies, also one of my favorites on the record. Voices is a bit nervous, almost noise sounding song, a bit different from the rest of the material, maybe a bit more raw and with primal rock and roll energy. Head On A Platter is a punk bomb of a song with so nice main melody line and harmonies that made my skin crawl with goosebumps. Wasteland finishes off the record with style. I really can`t wait for the full length album!
Bandage are punkrock band from Athens, Greece and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine.
Bandage started their path on the scene in 2010.and since then they released four records and played countless shows. This new record contains 11 songs. The music of Bandage can be described as melodic punkrock, but they are rather leaning to the more mid tempo emotional side of melody than fast skatepunk, so they are similar to Menzingers, Nothington and similar bands that came to my mind while listening to this record, but that doesn´t mean they copy anybody. I read the lyrics while listening and they are beautiful, personal stuff which I and also any other listener can relate to. My personal favorite songs on this record are Belong, I Believe You, Touch The Ceiling. This is a strong record for all of you who love your punkrock melodic, with emotions and you will catch yourself humming to the melodies of Bandage all day long.
