(review) Screaming at Traffic-I Don´t Like Sports(Little Rocket Records)

Screaming at Traffic from Canada just released their new record with Little Rocket Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This band comes from Winnipeg, Canada and they play a bit noisy, yet melodic and heartbreaking and heartwarming punkrock. The record contains 11 beautiful songs similar to the music of Menzingers, Nothington and similar bands. Meaning, melodic vocal lines, excellent personal lyrics, emotional atmosphere and tight musicianship. The songs that somehow stood out to me are Pantomime, Bitter, the title track and Monstrosity. This is not your fast paced skate hardcore punk, this is a different kind of punkrock. It is full of feelings, melodic, poetic and the overall vibe for me while listening to this record is kind of sad. Like it brings out to me all the sadness to the surface of my inner lake and then sending a wave to clear it up and bring me catharsis. That makes it really good and enjoyable record. So, if you are a fan of such music, go listen, write a word or two to the guys and show them you appreciate your work, I know they will appreciate it a lot.

(review)Brutalligators-Friends I Wish I´d Had(Real Ghost Records)

Brutalligators from UK just released their new record with Real Ghost Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

These UK lads play a version of emotional melodic punk not unsimilar to Menzingers, Hot Water Music, Nothington and similar bands, combining melody and emotions with the aggressivness of punk and blending melodic catchy riffs with ferociousness topped with heartwarming vocal lines. There are 5 songs on this record and I really can´t decide which one is better. Whether the unique melody of Crows or We´re Not Excited and speed hardcore punk short anthem Kill Your Heroes, all of the songs possess something beautiful that will bring smile on your face after repeating this record for couple of times. I want this band to make a full length very soon, cause it is going to be just great.
