Bobby Funk are from UK and they release their debut album with TNSrecords. The whole record starts with kinda weird punk hardcore with uptempo, shouted vocals and Dunc suddenly transforms in almost doo wop inspired melody then to return into nervous noisy punkrock. The rawness and snotty punk is all over the the nine songs with titles like I`m a Cat or very fast hardcore punk miniature Put Your Hands On The Car which transforms into my favorite on this record K Grind being almost thrash punk hardcore and made for fist pumping in the air and stage diving. With song titles like Breakfast Means Breakfast or Best Friends With Kanye you just can`t go wrong indeed. This is energy filled, fast and furious punk hardcore and I can only imagine how fantastic this band must sound live.

Last month Sunliner released their new EP ‘Structure / Average At Best’ on Lockjaw Records and Paper + Plastick.

Now, Sunliner release a brand new music video for the track ‘Average At Best’. Made in lockdown with things, bassist Caffs found around his house.

Vocalist Jake McAllister shouts, “The ground’s moving, and I’m spinning plates,” on Average at Best, evoking the sense of modern overwhelm that we can all relate to.
Describing his songwriting, Jake says, “I always try to make lyrics personal and to tell an arc, but I want to the listener to feel like I could be talking about them. We all struggle, and all have our worries and problems. I might not be able to fix them, but hopefully we can make people feel even a little less alone.”

The EP is out on Lockjaw Records (UK/EU) and Paper + Plastick (USA) on 22 May 2020. and is available as a picture flexi-disc with a host of fun extras, and exceptional artwork from Eloise McAllister.

As an effort to help in these troubling times, Sunliner will be donating £1 from each sale of the Flexi-disc to Leeds North & West Foodbank.

(review) FUCK You DRACU-FUCK OFF AND DRACU

Nice to see some bands from the east of Europe joining the worldwide underground network of nice bands, individuals, promoters, zines…FUCK You DRACU are from Bucharest, Romania and this is their new record. Here we get seven songs of rawer hardcore punk with lots of garage punk influences. All the song titles and lyrics are in Romanian langauge, so I don`t really understand what they are singing about, but the music is full of energy, with some really catchy and anthemic songs like for example Bataie Pe Alee, with streetpunk pure vibe. The vocals are shouted but also fit to the more melodic parts of guitar work. The drumming is fast and energetic and I would like very much to check these guys live. Other songs are also good, it is nice to hear some other bands, from other countries and discover new friends and new music.
