(review) Florida Men – Florida Men (Morning Wood Records)

Leave a comment

Florida Men are relatively new band to the scene but its members have more than thirty years combined in the playing gigs with their bands. This trio of Dutch punk veterans is featured here with their debut full length and this baby offers 12 songs of so called Ramonescore, meaning melodic punk rock with short but sweet energetic songs, uplifting melodies, fine vocal lines and harmonies and lyrics about going out, friendship, some humor, relationships and similar themes garnered here and there with some pop punk influences thrown in for good measure. Songs like Threw It All Away, Don´t Wanna Go, or Greatest Of All Time, being my personal favorites, but you will have to find yours if you like this style of punk rock, melodic, great and making you smile after a long day at work. Great debut. Although there is nothing new or special about this band, I love such music and would love to hear these guys play live soon.

French punk rockers Quitters share new single + video!

Leave a comment

French punk-rockers Quitters are back with a brand new track, Borders, and its video. The song, with its upbeat sounds and dance music-like pop chorus, contrasts with the lyrics about migrants’ journey to Europe.

The single is taken from Quitters’ forthcoming album “Captain Are We Thinking?” which is due for release on 23 September 2022.

About the band:

Quitters is a French punk rock band from Montpellier. The band was formed in 2015 and has been touring with the sole purpose of playing as much as possible. Carried by a pure punk rock energy, the texts of the band depict with cynicism and not without humor a world at the end of breath. 

Since then, the band has collaborated with various labels (Inhumano, Bad Mood Asso, Krod Records), sweated out more than 150 concert halls around the world and released two EPs and an album, Good Night Memories. For Quitters, 2022 marks the big comeback with the release of their second album Captain Are We Thinking.

Inspired by The Flatliners, Off With Their Heads or Pup, Quitters does not plagiarize: if the punk rock universe and the DIY culture infuse their music, this one is a vehicle for a creativity, a vision of the world and a sonic patte which are their own.

Today, we commemorate the prolific and influential career of No Use For A Name with Black Box. The career-spanning vinyl box set includes 13 LPs + 1- 7″. One of the LP’s and 7″ are both previously unreleased and exclusive to this box-set. We also created a 12″ x 12″ booklet with the band’s oral and visual history. This one-time pressing comes on colored vinyl and you can grab yours today. The best part? These are ready to start shipping today!

Wrapping up this project has been bitter-sweet, since we’ve been working on it for so long. During the journey, we’ve relished rediscovering NUFAN’s incredible catalog and revisiting our beloved friend, Tony Sly’s amazing body of work. The experience of sifting through all the pictures, stories, and songs has been an absolute joy, and we’re stoked to share it with all of you!
