French punk rock band, SALVATION, releases new single and video for – Echos!

“Echos” music video is the latest release from SALVATION, a Punk Rock/Pop Rock quartet from Marseille/France. A 13-track album is currently in production, along with a debut video.

With a powerful and deceptively simplistic Punk Rock sound, with very structured titles with a very pop rendering, sprinkled with vocal harmonies for 3 voices, SALVATION is influenced by bands like Green Day, Blink 182, NOFX, Simple Plan, Sum 41.

SALVATION is formed by William RAZZA and Pierre-Emmanuel TOUCHARD guitarists/vocals (1st part by Dagoba, Anti Flag, Justine, Mute). Loïc MICHAUD joins the group as bassist/chorus player after 3 years of touring Europe with the group No Perfect in the first part of Uncommonmenfrommars. His bass playing and vocal harmonies brought melodies and power to SALVATION. Martin VENTURINI (drummer) joins the adventure and brings even more energy and dynamism to SALVATION!

(review) Jim Lindberg – Songs From The Elkhorn (Epitaph)

Jim Lindberg is otherwise more known as a singer for melodic punk hardcore legends Pennywise. While his band released one of the best records in 2018 with their last full length, toured prior to covid shit and delivered fine energetic gigs, Jim also wrote and now released his solo work way different than work with Pennywise.

This album is personal. Very personal. The music has punk rock roots of course, but it is more acoustic and has also trumpet, piano, violin and songwriting that makes your skin crawl with emotions, such as sorrow, depression and battling it, loneliness, hope, friendship, happiness and this is basically great Americana punk rock album. I also feel that Jim s voice can sing more beautiful on this solo album and deliver more fine melodies and soar than Pennywise. I also feel that he opened his heart to us with this one and I can totally relate to some of the songs like Dont Lay Me Down, Youre Not Alone and Good Enough. If you expect hardcore punk, fast and furious you will be disappointed. If you open yourself to the music and words and let the music take you to some other level, this is the right one forya.

The Vandals – 25th Annual Christmas Formal(Live)

Californian legends The Vandals released their live album done in these strange covid times on cd and dvd. I watched The Vandals headline a day at Punk Rock Holiday couple of years ago in Slovenia and I was blown away with their fun show, full of great punk rock and not politically correct jokes and totally super music. Now, Christmas season is upon us and what better way to celebrate than with The Vandals live record full of great season songs like Christmas Time For My Penis, Grandpas Last Christmas, My First Christmas As A Woman, Thanks For Nothing and others. Celebrating The Vandals way haha. Also, this record contains all the live favorites and goldies like Live Fast Diarrhea, My Girlfriends Dead, Oi To The World. So, if you love your punk rock old school skatepunk, melodic, fun and with great musicianship, this is the right one forya. Go get it!
