(record review)Call It A Day-Mind The Gap(Thousand Islands Records)

Leave a comment

Thousand Islands Records continues its triumphant crusade in bringing us awesome bands and fantastic records, for all of us who like our punk fast and melodic. This, time we listened and reviewed the new Call It A Day record.

This band comes from Strasbourg, France and, you guessed it, they play awesome melodic punk hardcore or skatepunk if you will. The record contains three songs. For Your Safety is for me the best of the three songs, but Empty Promises is close, both being fast skatepunk with excellent melodies and awesome main vocals backed by nicely done backing vocal harmonies, topped off with great guitar hooks and song structures. The third song, named Valium is everything else but tranquilizer, being awesome energetic bomb to complete this little record with some screamed vocals thrown in to interact with the melodic voice and the combination is great. I love every single minute of this record and I really can˙t wait for the full length.

8,5/10

This new e.p. contains 6 songs and the music Reliance are playing is neither fast nor slow melodic punkrock/skatepunk with beautiful verse and chorus melodies, sing along parts and this music is just made to make your day a bit better when you listen to this record. On some songs, like for example Once Blind which is one of my favorite songs on this record besides the title track, the guys somehow reminded me of old Pennywise records. The vocals are nice, the singer does that deeper, a bit harsher voice but also suitable for those melodies which made my skin crawl with goosebumps. As I understand while listening, the lyrics are of more personal nature and I love punk with heart and soul, I said it before and I will say it again. This is a damn fine record if you love melodic punk like I do.

9/10
