(review) Weezer – SZNZ: Spring e.p.

Leave a comment

Weezer released new e.p., imagined as first in the series of four e.p.-s and it contains 7 songs and it is done in recognizable Weezer style, mixing melodic pop punk, indie and college rock and it is thematically connected from the beginning to an end. Although this band is a bit more commercial than your usual melodic punk rock or pop punk, I always loved their style and catchiness that they brought in their songwriting. This one is no exception, songs like Angels On Vacation, All This Love or Wild At Heart are poppy punk rock renditions of classic music with a touch of melancholy, fine vocal melodies, backing vocal lines, totally catchy choruses and simply written fine and diverse, like watching a theatre Shakespearean show through music and living a drama play. And what is life than drama play? Today you are here, tomorrow there is no more of you. So, live it up the best you can. Nice one.

Melodic punks Quitters released single and video ‘Atacama Desert(ALMA)’!

Leave a comment

French punk-rockers Quitters are back with a brand new track and video: Atacama Desert (Alma).

A classic punk rock gem with lyrics in both French and English, Atacama Desert (Alma) is about a dream-like experience which happened to the band’s singer and songwriter during a trip to Chile’s Atacama Desert. In awe of this infinite beauty, he found himself – “Don’t ask us how, don’t ask us why” – approaching Alma, one of the world’s biggest and most protected astronomical observation bases in a camper van. After being gently kicked out, they were robbed and lost any proof of any of this ever happening. 

Later, he wrote a song about this absurd experience and dreamy memory, the unexpected joys of travels and the infinite beauty of this particular landscape.  

The single is taken from Quitters’ upcoming album “Captain Are We Thinking ?” set to be released on 23rd 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.
