This album sounds like all those final releases of Victory Records prior to the end of that one time legendary label. Stand Atlantic offer 14 songs on this one. The music is pop punk, leaning more on poppy side of things than on hardcore or punk rock side of things. All of the songs are backed with that annoying electronic background like in all those newer pop punk bands coming out nowadays. Vocals are okay, but sometimes a bit too whiney and the backing vocal harmonies are done okay. Concerning the songs, there are couple of decent ones on this one, but there is more bad ones and sounding a bit all alike one another than good ones. This is a boring record in my opinion, rather go listen to something else which is better, don´t waste your time on this one.
Ach, Summer is the right time for listening some bands that are melodic, punk rock and bring back smile to your face as you enjoy cold sip of water in the shade watching sunshine doing its job. Basement Gary are from France and they recently released their full length record and it is a blast! There are twelve songs on this one, couple of them being intro and interludes. Music of Basement Gary is new school of pop punk rock, melodic and energetic, but at the same time having enough old school feel in anthemic choruses, harmonies and excellent melodies. There are some fast skate punk excursions like in Let Me Breathe which is short but sweet, but music is mainly punk rock with your typical pop punk tempo. Songs like Like A Millionaire, title song, With The Radio On are sure to become your favorites if you are a fan of such music. This one is a keeper for listening couple of times on a hot but nice Summer day.
Indie Punkockers Between Bodies just released a brand new music video for “Stronger than Me”, second single off their debut album Electric Sleep (which will be out on September 30th).
