(record review)Sorry for Escalating-“Losing sleep”(Horn and Hoof Records)

Leave a comment

I love European underground punk hardcore scene and I love discovering new bands that are great and I often wonder where I was that I didn´t hear some bands. Fortunately, there are many labels that do fine job putting out great underground music, so there is no fear, the scene continues to thrive and grow bigger like a giant living thing.

Sorry For Escalating were formed in 2014.and are coming from Karlsruhe area, Germany. This is their second e.p. out on Horn and Hoof Records, so I was happy to listen to the record and review it for this webzine. The guys were formed as a band to celebrate their love of freedom and feeling. This record contains 4 songs of melodic, mid tempo emotional punkrock. This music is not for the fans of some faster aggressive stuff, because this record is a celebration of humanity, life, emotions and inner self. Personally, “Think twice” is somehow my favorite song on this record. This is not the music made for moshing to or stage diving, this is punkrock made for daydreaming, emotional catharsis and meeting with yourself and the strange ways your mind is traveling to and from. Good record!

(record review)HUMMER-“Budweiser and Butter”(Horn and Hoof Records)

Hummer is a punkrock trio from UK, this is their second e.p. that came out on mighty Horn and Hoof Records, so I listened to the record and reviewed it for this webzine. I love discovering new bands that I hadn´t heard before!

“Budweiser and Butter” is the second e.p. from Hummer, following up on 2016’s “Work.Home.Bed”. This record contains 8 songs of excellent melodic punkrock played with heart and soul. If I must compare this band to someone I could draw some The Menzingers and The Lawrence Arms paralels. Bassist Will Atkinson and guitarist Joe Watson interplay on dual vocals just great, one delivering a bit harsher voice and the other one being a bit more melodic, not to mention excellent backing vocals meaning heavenly harmonies on anthemic choruses made for humming the whole day long. The lyrics are personal and with a lot of emotions lying behind the meanings of the songs, I love punkrock with emotions in the songs, so you can just feel the warmth, sadness, happiness and find yourself in the beautiful songs. Until recently, I only liked the faster more straightforward stuff, but in the last couple of years I started to love and found myself in emotional punkrock melodies. I love this record! Show some love and drop some lines to the band I just know it would mean a lot to them! Listen their music and hear the melodies and hear the emotions! Top songs: “Turpentine”, “Stone Cold Wasted”.
