(review) TRASHED AMBULANCE-Shorthanded(Thousand Islands Records)

Remember Trashed Ambulance from Canada? A while ago we did a review of their record here and an interview with the guys. Now, they have a new release with Thousand Islands Records and I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.

The new record is released also on limited cassette edition so be fast to get it. It contains 6 beautiful melodic punkrock songs, what pleases the most that it sounds more of 90-ies melodic skatepunk, not the metalic technical skatepunk played by most of the newer bands these days, not that I don´t love technical skatepunk, but I prefer this style. The melodies are fine, I love the nice interplay between main vocals and backing vocal harmonies and the mixture of personal serious stuff and humour in the lyrics of the songs. The songs that I somehow dig the most are Open Road, Buy In(excellent song about the scene with super lyrics) and Trash Queen. If you are into honest, melodic, heartwarming punkrock this one is yours and you only need to get it.

(record review) BRACKET-Too Old To Die Young(Fat Wreck Chords)

Bracket are back with a new record out on Fat Wreck Chords. I listened and reviewed the new one for our zine.

There are 11 songs on the new record and the music of Bracket is good old melodic punkrock, almost pop punk to caress your ears with nice melodies and memorable choruses. Besides Canned From The Food Drive, which we heard prior to the release of this album as a single, which convinced me that the new album is a bit weird because that song has some pleasurable, but weird melody, the other songs are also great. The tempo of the songs is mostly mid tempo with punkrock beat and unusual but awesome singing, cool backing vocals and the songs to keep you smiling on a sunny Saturday afternoon while I listen to this record. My personal favorites are Forget and also Under The Moon, songs that are destined to become part of my eternal playlist.

This album is a great return by the great band and it is a must listen for all the fans of melodic punkrock that love their punkrock melodic and heartwarming.
