(record review)Press Club-Late Teens

Leave a comment

I love Australian underground scene. It is far away on the other side of the globe, but the music unites us in a wonderful way. This time, I listened and reviewed for our zine the debut album by Press Club.

Hailing from Melbourne, Press Club released a strong debut record containing 11 songs. The music they play could be put into melodic pop punk, but they have so much more influences in their music, from indie to even noise. The musicianship is tight and the record is marked by strong vocals, courtesy of singer Natalie. Lyrically, Press Club heads into personal territory, but they also raise some socially aware subjects if you read through the lines. In all, we are dealing here with one hell of a strong debut. Top songs on the record for me: Headwreck(check out the video), Ignorance, Trading Punches.

(record review)Monoxyde/Monsieur SAMOU-Split(PCT musique)

Leave a comment

PCT musique is an awesome little underground label with so many great music coming out right now. This time I listened and reviewed Monoxyde/Monsieur SAMOU split record for our zine.

cover

Both bands gave 4 songs for this record so there are 8 songs in total here. Monsieur SAMOU are punkrock trio from France and they play old school melody punkrock just the way I love it. The vocals are rough, but sung and the guitar riffs are anthemic with awesome chorus like in Genevieve for example. Both bands sing in French, so I really can`t understand what they are singing about, but the music crosses the language borders and speaks for itself. Monsieur SAMOU songs have that streetpunk vibe that can be felt in the songs atmosphere and I just love such bands.

Monoxyde are from Canada and they play similar music to Monsieur SAMOU, only a bit harder and a bit rawer in my opinion on their side of the record. As I said, they also sing in French language so I can` t understand what they are singing about, but I love the music, the hardcore punk faster and more aggressive side of songs, the strong guitar riffs and a bit darkened atmosphere. But, still there is enough melody in the songs like in awesome Sans Sens Sur which is for me the best song on their side of the record. Great release, check it out!
