(review) Down Memory Lane – Breathing

Down Memory Lane are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine. Montreal based melodic hardcore punk band released their new e.p. There are eight songs on this one, last being cover of The Beatles. I dare say that this new e.p. is the best one this band released yet, music is still fast and energetic hardcore punk, but with so much melody, speed, vigor and fantastic main and backing vocal harmonies. Lyrics are a perfect mixture of personal and political. My personal favorites are White House and Pandemic Rockabye, I listened to latter for many times in a row and still am in awe of this song. But, all of the material is just superb if you love your hardcore punk melodic and uplifting. For sure, one of the top ten releases which came out this year of the genre.

On “Live To See Tomorrow”, Nails takes the role of storyteller to new heights, as he leads the listener on a punk inspired rock and roll journey, infused with elements of soul, R&B, folk-County, and gospel music.In the beginning, the band had more of a  “garage punk” style, but The Nailheads have been consistently developing their style into a more rock and roll, folk-country, and early R&B -influenced style of punk.  The band has toured extensively since their formation, having played well over 500 shows in seven countries, and continue to tour and record music.
