The new album is super fast and full of “stop and go”, technical compositions and experimental structures.

Comrad are from Italy and UK and this is their new e.p. This is a relatively new punk rock band from Italy and bassist Andy also plays in Dead Neck from UK, well known to this zine. There are five songs on this release with lyrics being in Italian. I love this language it is so melodic and just made for making superb melodic punk songs with harmonies and everything. This band basically plays melodic punk rock yet there are some post punk influences and also pop and rock here and there. This is not your classical break neck speed skate punk. Songs are much more complex and much more layers are put into writing, emotional, somehow sad yet hopeful and make you smile and wish that you have a full length for listening. As far my Italian understanding goes, lyrics are personal and beautiful. So., this is a real nice release, hope full length will be upon us soon.
Crancy Crock are Italian punk rock band from Bergamo being in existence since 1997. This time they released new live album with Gasterecords. There are twelve songs on this record, they were recorded during streaming festival Bergamo Strange Music Fest 2020. One of the songs is a cover of Clash´s classic I Fought The Law. The music of Crancy Crock is just excellent melodic punk rock reminding me a lot of Derozer and similar bands. There is something special in punk rock sung in Italian language. The language itself is so melodic, so beautiful, I understand a little, but I would love to learn it one day soon. Dual vocals and harmonies are perfect, melody lines are so sweet, like eating my favorite chocolate pudding and enjoying this punk rock bringing back smile to my face. This one has all the intensity of live record, the only thing missing is the crowd noise, but no matter, this one demonstrates the raw feel, untamed energy and melody of punk rock and reminds us that this is the best scene in the world and why I love it for almost thirty years now. Go, get this one. I love it! Recommended songs: Johnny, 2071, Partecipazione.
