Do you remember El Escapado? We already interviewed those guys for this zine when they were heading on their European tour. Now, they have a new record out and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.
The band comes from Nashville area, USA. This record has a funny name and it is just what it says, neither an e.p., nor a full record. The record contains 8 songs and the music is melodic and fast paced hardcore punk not unlike early Nofx but retaining a healthy dose of originality and vibe. There is a great fose of humour in the lyrics from the intro to the outro. That last song if we can call it that was just too long and too boring but I guess the guys wanted it just like that. I love this band and I love this record, it is an awesome piece of melodic hardcore punk. Top songs: Willett in Dresden, Sedition.
Uniforms are punk band from the east coast of Scotland. This is their new record out on Make That A Take Records and TNSrecords and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.
Formed in 2011.these guys spent four years recording, touring and playing more than 200 gigs in UK, USA and Europe. They disbanded in 2015. Now, reformed in late 2017.with new vigour and strength they released their new e.p. with four songs. The music Uniforms play is melodic punkrock, but not fast skatepunk or technical stuff, but melodic and heartfelt punkrock with emotions behind the songs and done in a way that will appeal to the ears of every fan of such music. I am going to say that although all four songs on the record are great, two songs were highlights for me. Those are My Wise Friend and Searchlights. The vocals are rough but at the same time melodic and when you listen to the songs, the music somehow pulls you in and soothes you but at the same time gives you that warm punk energy to flow through your body. Welcome back Uniforms, nice to have you again on the scene.
