(record review)Fullcount-Part Of The Game

Leave a comment

I have already written countless times about the variety and how great Canadian skatepunk scene is, this time I listened and reviewed the new record by Fullcount which is distributed by the great Lockjaw Records.

FulCount - Name of The Game

Hailing from Quebec city area, these guys deliver a mighty and epic album of technical skatepunk. The album contains 12 songs mainly in neckbreaking speed, with beautiful melodic guitar hooks, anthemic singalong choruses and awesome musicianship. There are some guest appearances on the album from Étienne Dionne (Mute), Alexis Paré (Cardinals Pride) and Émilie Plamondon (50 Shades of Punk Rock).  For me, the best songs on this record are definitely The Motion and Discord & Treachery but the album as a whole is a must if you are a fan of melodic hardcore punk with technical prowess, heart, soul, balls and strength. Many who read this zine know how much I value great vocals in such bands and this band has it all, in your face melodic but strong main vocals and awesome done harmonies in the backing vocal lines. This is for sure one of the best albums of the genre this year!

9/10

Leave a comment

After the premiere powered by New Noise Magazine, italian pop-punk heroes Sunset Radio has revealed a new video for “My Everything”, first single taken from the new album “All The Colors Behind You” out on October 15th via This Is Core. The video was shooted in Ravenna on a 180 meter tower and directed by Filippo Cinotti. Talking about the new single the guitarist Matteo Rossi says: “If You ever feel that you’re under the weight of your past mistakes and there’s no way you can’t make it, well, This Song is for you. This Song, and the whole new album, are a step forward from our last record “Vices”. We were influenced by pop-punk bands like State Champs, Neck Deep, Real Friends, as well as hardcore-punk legends like No Use For A Name, so our goal on the new record was to blend this two worlds in one”.

“Detach” is the first single off of Ghost Key’s highly-anticipated 2nd album called “See This Through.” The record will be released November 9th, and you can pre-order the album via the InVogue Records online store HERE.

“When under the spell of depression it’s so easy to feel like your mistakes define who you are. Detach is a reminder that you shouldn’t destroy yourself because of your past. Instead, examine the past as a way to become better for the future because that’s only the place any of us is going. Who I was is not who I am.”
