Huzzah! Here’s one thing happening in 2020 that doesn’t suck: being able to celebrate 25 years with NOFX! We’re ending this year’s 25th-anniversary series with their illustrious “I Heard They Suck Live,” release. You can pre-order the limited colored vinyl, with a foil accented cover, right now. It’s also available in a limited bundle with a T-shirt inspired by the album artwork! We expect to ship the vinyl in late January.
If you missed out on ordering the other anniversary pressings: Lagwagon, No Use For A Name, or Good Riddance, you’re shit out of luck! So, don’t sleep on it.
Punk rock scene legend Dave Smalley (DYS, All, Down By Law, Dag Nasty…) is back forming this new band called Don`t Sleep with members of The Commercials and Junction. They just released new record with Mission Two Entertainment.
The new record contains 12 songs of fierce melodic punk rock with harsh edge, personal lyrics that anyone can relate to, beautiful melodies and Smalley sounds better and more convincing than ever and his voice did not falter for a note with years, like good wine hehe. This is mainly mid tempo punk rock but also there are some faster hardcore rapid fire outbursts like fantastic Abandoned Us. This band in fact sounds like an amalgamation of all Smalley˙s previous bands and efforts, so you just can not go wrong if you love melodic punk and you are looking for a great band to listen to over and over again. Good one. Recommended songs: We Remain, Abandoned Us, True North.
Rot are from Mexico and this is the demo that came out couple of months ago. This one contains 6 songs, one being Misfits cover of Braineaters. Rot was spawned as a result of long fascination with everything monstrous, especially zombies, so it was kinda natural to do music in direction of horror, meaning horror punk, even zombie punk as some would call it. The demo starts with acoustic guitar and sound of thunder in Deceso delivering ominous atmospheric intro to the things. All songs are done on acoustic guitar, with melodic yet vocals with too much effect on the voice, I would love to hear these songs with clean melodic vocals without any effects, Marque Z para Zombies would be much better sounding song done in that way. Misfits cover has too loud vocals and too quiet guitar, but this is underground, so everything passes. The rest of the songs are short but sweet and would love to hear it with fast drums, real band and they would sound great. No matter, check this one out and support your horror scene.
