I was not an eager fan of Joey Cape´s solo work and albums for a long time. Last full length was great and I was eager what to expect on this one, although I had no big hopes because of a reason that I mentioned above. Fat Wreck Chords released this one as always and I think this is the best collection of songs that Lagwagon singer made solo up to date. There are twelve songs on this opus with significant record title to which I think all of us can relate to when thinking about 2020. Joey deals with lots of personal stuff here and you can hear melodic songs with great vocal lines, creating thematically atmosphere of darkness, hope and despair, something that lot of us felt last year. But, Joey also leaves a place for hope and leaves us thinking worse can´t happen that already did. Songs like It Could Be Real, Check Your Ego At The Door, Saturday Night Fever and Come Home are songs that are my personal favorites, but you will have to find yours when listening to this nice album.
We are very excited to introduce SAVE IT ANYWAY and their debut single ‘Moments’ which is released on Friday 10th September.
The band features front-man Kristian Richards of the UK’s best pop punk bands SAVE YOUR BREATH + 4 members of THE RUN UP; between them, they have toured the world with heavyweights such as New Found Glory, The Wonder Years, Neck Deep, Spanish Love Songs and The Story So Far and their debut single is as good as you’d expect from a band with such background and experience.
A mixture of Emo, Punk and Rock-Elements that is inspired by
the Sound between 2000 and 2010.
A variety of sound and style-fragments merged into wonderful Punkrock songs.
Whilst vocals and guitars are almost surrounding you from every side, providing
harmonies and rocking tunes, the rhythm group pushes forward - a groove
that let's you dance, kick and scream like there's no tomorrow!
First influences were NOFX, Millencolin, Samiam, Jimmy Eat World, TFP and Unwritten Law -
later they some more EMO styled bands like Hawthorne Heights and Taking back sunday.....
The Band 20 Days Dull exists for more than 15 years and is still going. The 3 have
found their love to music already in young ages and have always kept improving their
abilities and horizon. Influenced by Rock and Punk Rock the idea of a band was born.
The founder and singer (Marco) was from the moment of starting the band - and still
is - like the glue that keeps everything together, preserving the dream, whilst
fighting to achieve a place in the music environment was always part of his everyday
striving and struggling to get his message out to the world. Throughout all these
years he never gave up - no matter what happened.
Long time overdue...
2008 - The decision was made. An album should be recorded. With lots of love for
the details and a nonetheless grand amount of madness the plan succeeded. After a
lot of sweat, big hassles and some nearly nervous breakdowns the album was finished
at the start of 2014. Somehow you could say the album reflects those last 15 years of
band history. You can hear and feel the musical influences of all those involved in
the process, as well as all those special moments that went into the long production
of theirs debut-album "What Would You Say". As of the content this album deals with
morality, and those little things between humans every day that finally matter so much.
If you listen closely the album has to tell a lot. It is not political. It runs deeper
and asks, why humans are more and more losing those old values as respect, empathy
and helpfulness, which we learned as children.
Evolution...
The band had to undergo some changes in all these years. Some left, others joined
and carried over those ideals and music the band presents. Marco the dyed-in-the-wool
band leader now has found in Mike and Jens such musically nerdy members as himself.
The new album is in progress which will have as well somme of this nostalgic moments
and feelings as it will have a much more positive vibe with lots of new musical aspects
adopted by the band over the years. What remains is the love for the small details and
the undaunted will to continueo walking on a not so easy way.
2020 Back to live...
The year started quite good with support Gigs in Germany and a short trip to PERU just
the last few days before live music ENDED.(CUSCO 13.03. and LIMA 14.03.20)
As a consequence of the developments the band focused more on the works for their new
album (planned for middle of 2022) as well as another 3 Song EP which will gap the time
inbetween. Hopes are to get back touring along with the release of the new album in the
middle of 2022 - if there will be any live opportunities left ?!
