Dutch punk rock band Sun-0-Bathers announce new EP Floater!

Leeuwarden, The Netherlands based punk rock band Sun-0-Bathers have announced to release their new EP “Floater” on July 24th through Morning Wood Records (Europe), Paper + Plastick Records (USA) and Thousand Islands Records (Canada). “Floater” is the follow-up to the band’s 2018 debut EP “Local Warming” and features seven new 90’s California punk rock vibe tunes perfect for the summer, but will definitely keep you warm during other seasons too.

To make sure the new work will be coming in hot, the band just premiered “Overtime”, the first single from the new EP and is a nice example of the key ingredients that can be expected on “Floater”. You can listen to this track through the YouTube link below.

Inspired by 80’s and 90’s West-Coast punk rock waves, but also including the catchiness of (modern) Ramonescore style bands, Sun-0-Bathers’ journey began during the summer of 2017. With the goal of keeping songs fast, short yet very melodic with the occasional “ooh’s” and “aah’s”, the band’s style can be described as a romantic lovechild of Pennywise, Zeke, Adolescents, Night Birds and Guttermouth.

So far Sun-0-Bathers shared stages with bands such as U.K. Subs, Down By Law, Cigar, I Against I, Vitamin X and toured through The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy.

Pre-orders for “Floater” on CD and vinyl are now available now.

(review) to live among wolves-(Dis)honored

a1490651983_10

to live among wolves are coming from Rotterdam, Holland area and this is their new release.

There are 4 songs on this record. The music is basically hardcore punk, fast and rawer sounding in some parts, to break down to some modern hardcore moshing metalized influenced song parts, also some sludge and scream structures in the song guitar riffs and drumming can be heard here and there. The vocals are great, screaming and shouting, but also with some nice clean melodic vocals like in awesome Cursed Embrace, my favorite song on this record. But, other three are also nice dirty and raw, yet emotional and melodic piece of hardcore punk. I love this one. I am eager to see how the full length will sound like.

(review) Antillectual-Covers e.p.

cover

Legendary veteran Dutch punks Antillectual released their brand new e.p. consisting of four cover songs done in an interesting way, and interesting choice of bands. The cover of the single is a beatiful take on original covers, done by Andy from Satanic Surfers. The choice of covers is interesting, being Blondie, Police, Stooges and Ramones. The Ramones song is somehow least interesting for me, being too similar to the original version, although it is an everlasting anthem. The best one is Police cover and Stooges cover, like these new versions gave the new energy and new vigour to the originals. Nice bringing these evergreen hits to the crowds of the new kids in the scene. Good one.
