Emerging pop-punk group URETHANE has unveiled their brand new 2-song EP Dog Years which is now available worldwide via Cyber Tracks. Lifted from the album, the infectious sing-along punk rock anthem ‘Remember Me’ features Brenna Red (The Last Gang) on vocals and Matt Hensley (Flogging Molly) on accordion. The song was produced, engineered, and mixed by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Megadeth, Alkaline Trio, NOFX, Pennywise).

Featuring two professional Hall of Fame skateboarders (Steve CaballeroMatt Hensley), the official music video for “Remember Me” made its debut earlier this week on THRASHER

‘I was watching the real Buddy Holly story that Paul McCartney wrote in the early ’80s,’ says bassist Chad Ruiz. ‘In one of the interviews, Buddy Holly’s brothers sang this melody that instantly got trapped in my head. Throughout the years it was always on my bucket list to turn this melody into a punk anthem. An anthem of love, hope, friendship, and prosperity.’ ‘Our best music video to date,’ adds guitarist, professional skateboarder, and cultural icon Steve Caballero.

The music video takes place in a bar while URETHANE performs on stage with Brenna Red and Matt Hensley with Cameron Webb slings drinks and artist Mark deSalvo burns.

Also, limited edition autographed copies of their debut album Chasing Horizons on gold vinyl as well as variations of black orange splatter, orange crush, piss yellow splatter, and classic black are available via Cyber Tracks’ webstore.  

URETHANE formed during the infectious pandemic in 2020. The lineup consists of vocalist/guitarist Tim Fennelly (War Fever), guitarist Steve Caballero (The Faction, Odd Man Out, Soda), bassist Chad Ruiz (Skipjack), and drummer Dylan Wade (The Bombpops). Their musical roots are undeniably influenced by punk rock, pop-punk, and melodic hardcore.

(review) ROBBERY – ‘Demo’

ROBBERY are hailing from Montpelier, Vermont and this is their four song demo delivering some mighty punk rock. Let’s explain song by song:

‘Animal’ – old school mid tempo punk rock song with enough rawness and melody to be appealing to fans of more melodic side of things, but also raw punk rock fans. Good vocals, following guitar melody and more talking and shouting than really singing, reminded me of Biafra at times on this song.

‘New Routine’ – is a song about routines we all have in life, but with touch of humor and self irony, mid tempo punk rock with a slight pop punk touch yet still raw guitars and thundering bass and drums deliver pure punk energy,

‘Dancin’ With A G.I.’ – I hear a lot of Ramones and pop punk influences in this one, I guess that might be because of that melancholic and great main guitar melody. Great one.

‘Back To Basics’ – song about not wanting to go to war, about today’s state of the world and being somehow hardest and harshest song on the record but still melodic. My favorite.

(news – new single) Punk rockers from Vienna, The Rumperts released new single from the forthcoming album due in April!

The Rumperts flew to the legendary Blasting Room in the USA to record their new album for SBÄM Records! “New Age Jesus” will be released as LP and CD on April 28th 2023!

They already present the title track on March 3rd. “New Age Jesus” deals with the theme of “people pleasings” and the addiction to be loved, needed and admired by everyone. It critiques an inauthentic youth culture driven primarily by these attributes. The quest for attention and admiration for one’s own self-worth, which is dependent on others, has become a business on social media with thousands of followers, which almost seems like a cult.
