Antigony Records released the new album by JX ARKET, the band from Turin, Italy. This band was formed in 2016.and they play a mixture of post hardcore with melodic emotional hardcore punk like bands from end of the 90-ies, early 2000-s used to play. This album is beautiful and it suits me just right on this sunset as I write these lines. There are seven songs on the record and some of them are crushing with their rolling drums, thundering guitars, sad screams and turning into fantastic melodies bringing melancholy to the front of the song structure. Weeping Willow, Void And Pain, also Mountains are somehow the highlights of the album for me. I would like to say that vocalist impressed me very much being able to deliver brutality, melancholy and sadness with aggression at the same time. This album is one of the jewels in the crown of the Italian underground scene, so go grab it and have a listen, you will not regret it!
Edmonton punks Loser Points have debuted a new track called “Where Did All of My Money Go”. The new single is available via Spotify, Apple and many more digital platforms, check it out HERE.
Recorded by Casey Lewis (Belvedere) at Echo Base Studio, the song is the third single released by Loser Points so far this year, and won’t be the last since the band is actively working on new songs. “Denial & Error”, the band’s most recent album, was released in September of last year.
Bio:
Many bands take years to develop and find a concise, mature sound. Loser Points, as they have done since their inception in 2015, follows no traditional timeline. With their latest full length, Denial & Error, Loser Points trades in the hardcore yells and blazing-fast song structures that earned them their place in the upper-echelon of the western Canadian punk scene in favour of hook-filled rock songs and massive, unforgettable choruses.
Minneapolis based Off With Their Heads released their brand new full length album with Epitaph. This record contains 11 epic melodic emotional punkrock songs done with heart and kicking you right in heart and mind and bringing tears of sadness with a touch of melancholy combined with smiling and hope on your face and making you say thanks a lot for loving punkrock, loving this music and loving this band. The vocalist has one of the nicest voices that I ever heard in punkrock sounding harsh and melodic and sad at the same time. This is your melodic mid tempo, maybe even slow punkrock with some indie influences, I can even hear some doo wop and also pop in the song structures. I love all the songs, but if I must mention my favorites that would be: Disappear, Take Me Away, Let It All and Locking Eyes. For sure, one of the best albums to come out this year.
