Digifile 2 ante - taglio per cd dx

Italian melodic hardcore band A Part Of Us is glad to announce the release of the new video “Fake (Social) Stars”, first single taken from the new album “Different Stories On The Same Road” out on June 21st via This Is Core. About the new album the band says: “’Different Stories On The Same Road’ talks about people and their daily struggles. Furthermore the record introduces a critique to the modern society that, by raising public personalities, doesn’t give the right value and meaning to words, acts and to the way people expose and open themselves to the others. All songs are written and recorded by the band, mixed and mastered by simone cristanelli (voice and bass player of the band) in his personal studio. The album is fast, direct and angry”.

 

The artwork of the album is above and here is the list of songs:

01 Fake (Social) Stars
02 Right Way
03 This Time Of
04 Inside Me
05 Change
06 Back To Life
07 E.F.D.
08 Wasting

 

 

(record review)Los Fastidios-Joy Joy Joy(KobRecords)

The new album by Los Fastidios, the long running Italian ska/streetpunk masters is here! These guys have their hearts in the right places playing their music and spreading the messages of unity, positivity, antifascism in all of the years they have been in the scene.

Los Fastidios - Joy Joy Joy cover

There are 13 songs on the new full length album and they are all anthems in their own way. There are couple of covers, like the title song, Ellos Dicen Mierda too, to me they sound better than the originals that I looked up in the wastelands of internet. The remake from 2001.oldie Guarda Avanti is a cool ska punk hymn to make you dance to. But, my favourites on this album are more punk/oi oriented songs like BMX Punx, especially It´s Time with all the cool backing vocal singing just made for singing along at the gigs. Of all the ska songs my favourite is A Message Pour Toi with awesome interplay between Enrico´s voice and guest singer, is it Elisa Dixan who sang superb on the 7 inch recently? There is also a first Fastidios song in German language and believe me, it is great. Not to discover just everything, you will have to get this album and have a listen. This is an album to make your day happy and brings smile to your face!

(record review) The Beatersband-Vol Uno

We don´t usually review cover albums but The Beatersband released their record which is so good that I just had to review it for our zine.

This trio from Italy play punkrock versions of oldies from the 50´s and the 60´s and I really enjoyed the record because I also love the originals of the songs these guys covered. What is so new and superb in this 8 classics covered in punk versions here, you will ask? Absolutely nothing! But, I just love Baby I Love You, Donna, Surfin Bird and I love to listen to such songs. The Misfits have done it, some of the songs were also played by Ramones, but this band is great for parties and great for listening. Have a listen and look forward to the future releases. Also, you can write a line or two to the guys from the band just to let them know you appreciate their work, I know it will mean a world to them!
