Atlas For Home are French band from Paris that started in 2013. They just released their new record out on Red Toad Music and I listened and reviewed it for this zine.

This new e.p.contains 6 songs of melody, emotion and pop influenced melodic punkrock alternative. If I must mention who this band reminds me a bit that would be Blink-182, The Starting Line and Biffy Clyro. This new record is band˙s second e.p. four years after the first one. The lyrics of the songs are personal and they deal with identity search, friendship, love, surviving in the today˙s fast world and similar themed songs. The vocals are very important for me in this kind of music and this band has very nice vocals, neither snotty or too poppy just right and feel good for this music, also backing harmonies fit in well and I loved it. This music is perfect for listening on the sunny Saturday morning, while drinking coffee, tidying up the apartment and preparing your lunch. Easy peasy but awesome. The favorite songs: Home, The Talk.

7,5/10

Leave a comment

After the premiere powered by New Noise Magazine, italian pop-punk heroes Sunset Radio has revealed a new video for “My Everything”, first single taken from the new album “All The Colors Behind You” out on October 15th via This Is Core. The video was shooted in Ravenna on a 180 meter tower and directed by Filippo Cinotti. Talking about the new single the guitarist Matteo Rossi says: “If You ever feel that you’re under the weight of your past mistakes and there’s no way you can’t make it, well, This Song is for you. This Song, and the whole new album, are a step forward from our last record “Vices”. We were influenced by pop-punk bands like State Champs, Neck Deep, Real Friends, as well as hardcore-punk legends like No Use For A Name, so our goal on the new record was to blend this two worlds in one”.

(record review)COLORSFADE-In Real Time(Thousand Islands Records)

Leave a comment

Colorsfade released their new record through Thousand Islands Records and I enjoyed to listen and review the record for our zine, so read on.

I love Canadian punk hardcore scene so much! So many awesome bands coming out, besides the old legendary bands, so many new and still unexplored music and awesome bands put out their records constantly and I really enjoy to discover new bands.

Colorsfade play melodic and fast, but very tight hardcore punk. This record contains 11 songs of highly contagious melodies, memorable choruses just made for singing along and jumping around at the gigs. The guitar work is awesome and there are so many beautiful hooks in the songs and I love every single minute of this album. There are couple of guest performances on the album like Vince from Our Darkest Days and Doowy from Down Memory Lane. The lyrics are pretty politically engaged and I love that because many bands discard that punk should be political at some times. This band managed to find a perfect mix between politics and personal. There are some songs that I must mention here that somehow stand out for me as the highlights of this album. Those are Take Your Time, Loaded For Peace and Frozen In Time. This is a very strong album and I reccomend thjs one to all of you who love your music fast and melodic.
