On October 28th Überyou releases their new single “Revolt” which is not only übergood but überimportant. The song and the accompanying music video speak for themselves. With a topic of interest, the song will be stuck in your head. It’s not only a story to be told but a song to be heard. Naming a song “Revolt”, you’ll know what to expect and that’s good. While the video is a homage to George Michael – best regards from Last Christmas by the way – the song itself is not that tranquil.
Nowadays the political discussion – and thus the shaping of public opinion – is far too often dominated by an unrationalized and unfounded fear of the unknown and moronic conspiracy theories. Such antisocial conduct divides our society and cannot go unchallenged. An opinion surely not limited to Überyou.
As the single follow-up to the banger “Road to Philly”, “Revolt” is the next harbinger of the upcoming album with the wonderful name “Silver Lining”. The band’s fifth album will be released on February 3rd on Gunner Records (Europe), Inhumano Records (Switzerland) and Say10 (USA). The unofficial christening will be held a week earlier on January 27th at Überfest in Zürich! Thank goodness there is a silver lining despite all the antisocial insanity going on right now.
By the way, the punk rockers from Zürich themselves are not that anti at all. Friendship and the love of music is above, or über if you will, all for Überyou. Since 2008, the group of best friends have been on the road together all over the world. With the spirit of the Gainesville punk bands like Hot Water Music and Against Me in their hearts and the essence of the Swiss punk scene in their veins, Überyou is energetic and with a DIY-attitude.
In the last ten years the band has toured and shared stages with bands like Turnstile, Dropkick Murphys, NOFX or Alkaline Trio. Whether in America, Asia or across Europe, Überyou brings Swiss punk rock all around the globe.

Italian pop punx Sunset Radio Announce The New Album ‘Thank You, Goodbye!’
Third album for the five Romagna pop-punkers Sunset Radio, a sweaty, tough record by many points of view. Through pandemic, grasshoppers, aliens and so on, Sunset Radio will release “Thank You, Goodbye!” on November 25th in all digital stores.
Nine tracks ranging from a classic Californian pop-punk, up to ballads and alternative energetic songs in which there is no shortage of tight guitars and fast drums, a clear signature of the quintet from Ravenna: “It is without doubt the most mature and strenuous work we have ever done and we look forward to sharing it with all of you” says the band.
(review) Slang Poor Kids – Go Round The Bend (Gotama Studio)
Gotama Studio is back with another great released from Italian scene, this time it is new e.p. by Slang Poor Kids, trio from Brescia/Cremona, Italy. They play melodic hardcore punk, leaning with both feet in old school, nineties style like all those Californian bands play and still play. There are four songs on this one, with lyrics in English language. The singer´s English is great, that is not often the case with Italian bands that sing in English. Music is fast, skate punk with many excellent melodies, both in verse and choruses that make you sing along, it doesn´t matter whether you want it or not. My personal favorites on this little e.p. are We Failed and By Your Side. If you like quality melodic hardcore punk check this one out.
