(record review)The Drowns-View From The Bottom(Live From The Rock Room/Bypolar Records/1984 Records/Gunner Records)

The Drowns are relatively new band, but the members have 40+ years of scene experience when you combine them. Featuring the members of Success, Shell Corporation, Time Again, and Madcap, these band knows what to do from the start on.

The record contains 10 songs of tight melodic punkrock. Song structures are midpaced, this is not skatepunk although there are a couple of excursions into faster territories like for example in Boston Accent. What I love about this record and this music is that it has soul, I can almost feel the emotions behind the harsh but melodic singing and the tight musicianship. The other songs that are somehow the higlight of this record for me are Eternal Debate for which the video was made and View From The Bottom. I guess the meaning of this record was to somehow convey those emotions behind the music to the listener and the guys managed to do just that! Awesome record!
