Leave a comment

Blowfuse are punkrock band from Barcelona, Spain formed in 2013. I am happy that I listened and reviewed their new album for our zine. The album is out with Morning Wood Records.

These guys have been famous for their ferocious live energetic shows playing more than 250 shows and becoming one of the most important younger Spanish punkrock bands. This new record contains 11 anthems of melodic punk. Don˙t expect your usual fast skatepunk Nofx style here, this material is much more complex than that. There are many influences with Blowfuse music, mainly skatepunk, but also garage punk, hardcore and even indie noisy stuff. There are fast songs like awesome Dreams or Grand Golden Boy, punk anthems like Angry John, for me one of the highlights of the album, but this album also has one of the best lyrical side of things in a long time. It is too much to say that this is a concept album, but all of the songs talk about little stuff you have to do every day to survive in this rough and ugly modern world, battling with depression and anxiety packed into smart lyrics I can relate to. The vocals are also important for me in such bands and these guys have specific voiced singer which made me love this band even more. This is a great modern punk album!

(record review)Melodic energetic bomb from Serbia DOGHOUSE-“Never Cry Wolf”(Morning Wood Records)

Morning Wood Records quickly becomes one of the best European labels delivering strong melodic punk hardcore records all the time. This time, Serbian melodic punk hardcore band Doghouse released their new album and boy, I just cant get enough of it. Hailing from Belgrade, Serbia, these fellows were formed in 1998.so next year I suppose will be 20th anniversary for these guys.

They were pretty successfull in their time, but in 2006.they went on hiatus only to be reformed again in 2013. They signed to Morning Wood Records in 2015.and released a great comeback e.p.”Dysfunction”.

Now, it is time for the new album. There are 10 songs on the new record, all great, fast paced punkrock with a lots of melody and energy, played with heart and conviction. The lyrics are in English language and I guess, from the listening that they deal with more personal issues. The whole vibe of the album is nice nostalgic nod towards 90-ies and punkrock scene then, but at the same time it sounds fresh and awesome. The other thing that I liked very much is the vocals. The vocals dont sound cheesy and snotty, quite the contrary, they are like rougher but singing great melodies at the same time. It is very hard to give the top songs from the record because they are all great, but I will try. For me, the top songs are: “Drone” and “Goodbye”. Great record for all of you who love your punkrock done that way.
