Leeuwarden, The Netherlands based punk rock band Sun-0-Bathers have announced to release their new EP “Floater” on July 24th through Morning Wood Records (Europe), Paper + Plastick Records (USA) and Thousand Islands Records (Canada). “Floater” is the follow-up to the band’s 2018 debut EP “Local Warming” and features seven new 90’s California punk rock vibe tunes perfect for the summer, but will definitely keep you warm during other seasons too.
To make sure the new work will be coming in hot, the band just premiered “Overtime”, the first single from the new EP and is a nice example of the key ingredients that can be expected on “Floater”. You can listen to this track through the YouTube link below.
Inspired by 80’s and 90’s West-Coast punk rock waves, but also including the catchiness of (modern) Ramonescore style bands, Sun-0-Bathers’ journey began during the summer of 2017. With the goal of keeping songs fast, short yet very melodic with the occasional “ooh’s” and “aah’s”, the band’s style can be described as a romantic lovechild of Pennywise, Zeke, Adolescents, Night Birds and Guttermouth.
So far Sun-0-Bathers shared stages with bands such as U.K. Subs, Down By Law, Cigar, I Against I, Vitamin X and toured through The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy.
Wow! This is a nice suprise! Head Honcho recently relaased their new record. They are from Seattle and this new record contains seven blasting songs.
The music of Head Honcho borders somewhere between ultrafast melodic hardcore punk with lots of metal influences thus creating technical energy bomb. Couple catchy fast riffs and fast drumming with beautiful melodic and sometimes screaming vocals and backing vocal harmonies and you get fantastic record. Add to that nice, almost poetic personal lyrics which are strong and you can relate to them anytime, you get a keeper. The time flies so quick while listening to this one, you wish more and more. I would love to hear how this band sounds live, I am sure they deliver tons of fist pumping in the air and stage diving energy. Recommended songs: Throne of lies, Mantooth.
Penny At Work are coming from north of France and were formed in 2016. PCT Musique teamed up with them for this e.p.
There are four songs on this e.p. with lyrics being fun and the music is melodic punkrock with saxophone parts and also leaning somewhat on nineties wave of ska punkrock and it sounds awesome. I really enjoyed the nice vocal melodies, harmonies on backing vocals, uptempo faster and energetic songs that just can`t let you sitting down, they just make you pump your fist in the air, want to jump around and hug the sweaty kid in the pit next to you and sing along with the band. My favorite song on this record is definitely Cyber Ads, but others are also fantastic. Check this one out, I am eager to listen to full record in time.
