Housewarming Party are punk band from Salt Lake City and they just released their debut full length album. This band was formed in 2016.and released, as they say it, two and half e.p.-s until now and this is their debut album containing 11 songs. The music of Houswarming Party can be described as melodic mid tempo punkrock not unlike The Menzingers, Nothington, The Flatliners, Lawrence Arms and similar bands, meaning heartfelt melodies in vocal lines, beautiful melodic guitar riffs, memorable choruses and harmonies on backing vocals. When I was younger, about ten or so years ago, I would just laugh and wave my hands on such bands because I was only into faster and more hardcore bands, but I like these now. The songs like Cinderblocks, Work Week or Original Muscle Beach are sure to become your instant hits with this band. A strong debut indeed!

Stand Up Stacy is a punk rock / alternative rock band hailing from Munich, Germany. The guys are known for their explosive live concerts and their big, melodic sound.
The guys are lifting the typical punk rock sound of Blink-182 or Sum 41 to another level and found their way to bring the sound of the big rock bands of the 2000’s to the present day, mixing great choruses and driving beats with interesting influences and harmonies.
On their new single “Something To Believe”, the band comments: “It’s the first single from our first full album, “The Magnificent You”. It’s a song about being trapped in your own head, not able to find an exit. Too often, people tend to focus on those little negative things, which sum up to a heavy burden for you and your surroundings.
This song is a wakeup call: don’t let go of the positiveness that can be found everywhere around you. Step out of your shadow. Find Something To Believe.
With a host of plans in the works for next year, there’s definitely nothing stopping Stand Up Stacy! The band’s debut full length, “The Magnificent You”, will indeed be out in spring 2020. Stay tuned!

(review) Todo Match-The Damned(PCT musique)

cover

PCT Musique is a small punkrock label dedicated to promoting European and Canadian punk bands and delivering great underground music to us, hordes thirsty for great punk and creating underground network of cooperation. This time, they bring us the new record by punk band from Toulouse, France Todo Match. This record contains 10 songs. The music of Todo Match is a mixture between melodic side of punkrock, indie, pop punk and I can even hear more raw garage punk influence in some song structures. The lyrics are in English and I am really glad this band has something to say like against rich getting rich on the backs of poor(Rebellious Beat), pedophile priests(God Bye), unity in fight(Ignition), religion and death(Under The Stone). What I like about this band is them having a bit unconventional melodies and different songs varied from the faster punk to some mid tempo and slower bits remaining interesting all the time. The title song is pumping pure blooded punkrock but for me one of the absolute highlights of the record is A Perfect Democracy, with super lyrics and great fast energetic punk rythm. The best song on this record is Welcome To Wall Street City, filthy punk hymn against the broker system and all that corporate stocking crap going on there. Besides these songs that are highlights for me, you will have to discover the rest for yourself. Go get this one.
