(review) Latte+ – ‘World of Retarded’

Leave a comment

Italian LATTE+ are in no way strangers to the pages of this webzine. We already reviewed their release on these pages so we knew what to expect with new album, and I might say we were not disappointed. This new album contains 12 songs of melodic Ramonescore mixed with pop punk and melodic punk rock influences, energetic, uplifting and inspiring, just what is needed for these rainy grey days. LATTE+ are one of the oldest active Italian punk rock bands and have been in the scene for a while, but their songs sound fresh and exciting. Short anthems like ‘Laura Is A Punk Rocker’, ‘Such A Mess’, ‘Creepy Basement’ or ‘My Heart Belongs To The Ramones-Unbearable’ are sure to win you over with their contagious melodies, strong melodic vocals that are not snotty or poppy, but true punk rock voice and great backing vocal harmonies. Ramones legacy lives on! If I must compare this band to some other it would be Teenage Bottlerocket sounding awesome and I recommend you check out these guys!

Punk rockeri Home Conflict imaju novi single/spot, novu postavu i novo izdanje!

Leave a comment

Home Conflict objavljuje novi materijal na hrvatskom jeziku nakon 7 godina sviranja na engleskom. Novi EP nosi naziv ‘Igre Riječi i Kolo Sreće’ te predstavlja brzu i žestoku glazbu u duhu melodičnog hardcore-a.

Poseban fokus je na prvoj pjesmi s EP-a, nazvane ‘Oprost’, koja donosi novu stranicu u karijeri benda i prikazuje njihovu potpunu posvećenost hrvatskom jeziku i glazbenoj punk kulturi. Izrazito brza i energična skladba prožeta oštrim bubnjem te agresivnim gitarama, potpuno će vas osvojiti svojim zvukom te refrenom koji je strašno upečatljiv i zarazan da ga nikako nećete moći izbaciti iz glave.

Osim toga, bend ima i novu postavu, što je dodatni razlog za uzbuđenje. Nova postava donosi nove ideje, novu energiju i novo zvučno iskustvo, čime bend pokazuje da su uvijek spremni na promjene i napredak.

Bend Home Conflict ima dugogodišnju karijeru i mnoge uspješne nastupe na svojim leđima, ali s ovim novim materijalom očekuje još veće podvige te fanove koji će se zaljubiti u njihovu glazbu na novoj razini.

Budući da se radi o izuzetno rijetkom izdanju na domaćoj glazbenoj sceni, pozivamo sve da poslušaju ovaj novi materijal i pridruže se slavlju benda.

‘Oprost’ se može poslušati i pogledati na YouTubeu, dok će EP – ‘Igre Riječi i Kolo Sreće’ biti dostupan na svim digitalnim platformama 27.4.

(new single/clip) Melodic punks Ink Bomb releases new music video: ‘Theme Song’!

Leave a comment

Dutch punk rock band Ink Bomb releases a new music video: Theme Song. This new single is an ode to making music together and to carrying out plans, being this band together. Theme Song is the second single taken from the new album that will be released later this year.

Listen to Theme Song on Spotify
Ink Bomb is an active band consisting of four very different individuals to whom the band is important. “If you tour a lot together and write and record music together, you spend a long time together. You also experience each other at times when you are not the best version of yourself. Both the pursuit of our band dreams and the creative expression provide mental support when things don’t go well at other aspects of life,” singer Joost says.

“Uptempo songs with a fiery core / Make soothing salves for open sores / Ammo for those darker days / When your hearts been led astray”

“I was working on a melody for a song and since I don’t write lyrics I was just singing the words ink bomb over and over again as a demo for our singer Joost”, Ink Bomb guitar player Quirijn explains. “Joost took this as a cue to write a theme song for the band.”

For the energetic music video, Ink Bomb worked together again with Edwin Willemsen from Ambivalent Aardvark Productions who also shot the recent video for the song Human Remains. The video was shot in a so-called Instagram museum called Akwart Experience in the little town of Elst. Ink Bomb bassist Arina: “One of the rooms is covered in paint splashes, so a literal ink bomb exploded. This was just the perfect place for the video.”

Ink Bomb will be returning to the studio very soon to record more songs for their second album, expected in 2023.
