The split 7” comes out on September 6th, and you can pre-order it today! Additionally, TBR will be tearing it up, headlining the FAT TOUR, which kicks off this month! Check out what Ray Bottlerocket had to say about the 7” and teaming up with his son Milo, below.

“Hello all! When Teenage Bottlerocket was at the Blasting Room working on “Stay Rad,” my son Milo came to the studio and recorded two songs with his band Human Robots. It wasn’t hard getting his band together, because Milo plays all the instruments and sings on the two songs he wrote. I guess it’s a one-man band (yes, he has no friends). His songs turned out great, and we somehow convinced Fat Wreck Chords to release a split 7” featuring the TBR songs “Olivia Goes to Bolivia” and “Everything To Me,” as well as the Human Robots songs “Step On Em All” and “I Want to Hang Out With You.” Chris Shary did the artwork, and it all turned out great. This is the best split since Taco Bell teamed up with KFC! I love sharing this rock n roll life with my son, Milo. Look out world; Human Robots are stoked to shred and ready to party!”

Speaking of party, the 2019 Fat Tour is just around the corner. Come hang out with us, Mean Jeans, Clowns and Jen Pop (The Bombpops)!!

Norway is known for beautiful nature and fjords, also for black metal. But, there are other bands in Norway too. Goldenboy is a band from Bergen and they play melodic punk. I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine.

These guys have been around since 1999.delivering music. After couple of quieter years this is their new e.p. with five songs on. Goldenboy play beautiful melodic punk with pop punk influences, not being cheesy and delivering energetic punk with awesome vocals backed by great backing vocal harmonies. Of all the songs on this record, Old And Boring and Faded Photographs are somehow highlights for me. But, don´t get me wrong the whole e.p. is just perfect for all the fans of melodic and beautiful heartfelt punkrock just made for singing and humming along. I have never heard of Goldenboy prior to this record, but now I am really happy being able to check out this band. I would love to hear them play live, because I am sure they are soo much better live. I just love this record. 9/10

(review) Escape Artists-Never Die Again

Escape Artists are soon releasing their final studio album after 11 years of existence as a band. I listened and reviewed the final record for our zine.

This Vienna, Austria based melodic skatepunk pop punk influenced band are going down to history with all guns blazing blasting their swansong with 8 melodic punkrock songs Europan style, not unlike Bambix, This Side Up and similar bands. From the faster skatepunk influenced title song, accross serious sounding Addiction Turns Into Fiction four guys and a girl deliver just great music just made to singalong and hum to all day. One of the highlights of the album for me is definitely Even Angels Need To Learn How To Fly, beautiful song indeed. Wake Up is another song with awesome vocal melodies courtesy of singer Pia. I love this girl´s voice, neither too mellow, nor too harsh, ideal for this kind of music backed with wonderful backing vocal harmonies and melodies. One of the songs I must also mention is Goodbye which ends the record and the band in a symbolic way, closing one era and opening another one. Good one.

8,5/10
