punk supergroup | KRAYKULLA-WEBZINE

R!OT is Montreal’s new Punk Rock supergroup, composed of Sean Ryan (Irish Nails, The Mahones) on vocals and guitar, Danny Duke (The Ataris, The Queers, Ripcordz) on bass and vocals and Guillaume Lauzon (The Brains, Gutter Demons, People and Space) on Drums.

Blasting out of Montreal’s West End, the band’s debut EP consists of eight blazing tracks. Watch the video for the first single ‘Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts’HERE

The band formed at a Music Addicts meeting during the Covid pandemic. All three degenerates decided to ignore the confines of a world without music fully live out their sonic addictions to form a band that no responsible mother would ever let her children listen to.

Combining the wide variety of influences they each bring to the mix, this is the first effort from these well established punk rockers. The self-titled EP can be listened to at: Youtube Music, Spotify, Amazon Music Track Listing:

1. Didn’t Say 2. Saturday Night 3. All Things That Matter To You 4. Brainy 5. Left For Dead 6. Pass The Drinks 7. New Soul 8. Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts

When I first heard about A Vulture Wake I knew that this will be an awesome record. Bird Attack Records has done a great job releasing this and it is time to sit back, listen and review this baby.

We wont be wrong if we say that A Vulture Wake is a kind of punk supergroup. Formed in 2016. the band features the current or former members of All, Drag the River, Lagwagon, RKL, Good Riddance, Real McKenzies and The Mag Seven. The record is very strong for a debut album. It contains 10 songs of melodic punk with some hardcore influences. The songs are very technical and these guys know how to play their instruments with all their experience on the scene. For me the overall vibe of the album was somehow sad and somber which is good and in some weird way that reminded me of No Use For A Name. Not musically, no way, but in the vibe and maybe the lyrics too. I dont have the lyric sheet or booklet but I can follow the lyrics good enough while listening that I know that it is a fine mix of political and personal with more weight given to the personal side. It is very hard to name some highlight songs from the album but for me it would be “Circle of Friends” and “Secrets”. Great album!
