(record review)ALL HOPE REMAINS-Feel The Fire e.p.

All Hope Remains are melodic hardcore punk band from Australia, I listened and reviewed for our zine their new e.p.

Hailing from Surfcoast Victoria, Australia these guys play melodic hardcore with skatepunk thrown in for good measure. This record contains 8 songs one being intro Prelude and they play nothing new or very special, but they play nice melodies and awesome song structures make this e.p. a very pleasurable experience. The lyrics are a mix of personal or political stance with the heart and soul emotions behind everything. The vocals are very important in such bands to me, and All Hope Remains have one of the better vocalists for such music, coupled with cool back vocal harmonies and guitar riffing. Some songs are more fast paced and straightforward, some are midtempo punkrock/hardcore. Recommended songs: Feel The Fire, Hit Rewind.

(record review) NOT ON TOUR-Growing Pains(SBÄM Records / La Agonía De Vivir)

I first heard Not On Tour playing live at beach stage in 2017., Punk Rock Holiday festival. I was immediately blown away with the short and sweet melodic hardcore energy bombs they delivered there and the crowd went absolutely nuts there.

Fronted by Sima, woman with awesome voice, these Israeli band quickly became one of my favorite melodic hardcore bands. I was so eager when they announced the new record and judging by the singles the guys released prior to the record I knew it is going to be a blast! Here are new 17 songs of mainly neckbreaking fast melodic hardcore with catchy guitars, fast drumming, and above all perfect vocal lines. Basically, what you get here is your Not On Tour material, if you are a fan of the band you´ll know what I mean. Nothing new, different or revolutionary, but the awesome melodic hardcore like we are used to from the band. I am so happy that this Summer I will be able to check out how the new songs sound live at Punk Rock Holiday. My favorite songs: N.O.T.Funny, Therapy, Fears Come True.
