I must admit that I have never heard of Goodbye Blue Monday from Scotland prior to listening and reviewing this record that came out via Make-That-A-Take Records.

This record contains three songs of melodic punkrock but what makes it different from the other bands in that genre are the harsh but melodic vocals. Those vocals fit really great in the song structures and additional gang and backing vocals make anthemic choruses just made for singing along with this band. The music of this band somehow reminded me really much of Croatian band Mašinko because they make similar urban melodic and up tempo punkrock and I loved this record very much. The lyrics are personal as far I understand and there is a lot of bitterness and irony and emotion behind the lyrics, at least I think so. All three songs are great, but somehow I love “Love Is a Noose For Two” somehow the most. Great record!
