The Rumperts are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine, we covered their single taken off this album so now it is time to review the full length album that came out with SBÄM Records. The Rumperts are Austrian punk band with base in capitol Vienna. This new full length contains ten songs of melodic, yet raw punk with health y dose of hardcore punk thrown in the song structures. The lyrics deal with political side of things in Europe and world, but also through the lines reflect on personal, our little private world that each of us has. Vocals are great, angry when necessary, melodic all the time, shouted and singing, songs are catchy having such nice parts just made for singing along at gigs. My personal favorites are ‘Nazissist’, ‘Growin Old’ and ‘Mutiny’. So, support and get this one, you will not regret it, cause it’s a great punk album.
Dutch punk rock band Ink Bomb releases a new music video: Theme Song. This new single is an ode to making music together and to carrying out plans, being this band together. Theme Song is the second single taken from the new album that will be released later this year.
Ink Bomb is an active band consisting of four very different individuals to whom the band is important. “If you tour a lot together and write and record music together, you spend a long time together. You also experience each other at times when you are not the best version of yourself. Both the pursuit of our band dreams and the creative expression provide mental support when things don’t go well at other aspects of life,” singer Joost says.
“Uptempo songs with a fiery core / Make soothing salves for open sores / Ammo for those darker days / When your hearts been led astray”
“I was working on a melody for a song and since I don’t write lyrics I was just singing the words ink bomb over and over again as a demo for our singer Joost”, Ink Bomb guitar player Quirijn explains. “Joost took this as a cue to write a theme song for the band.”
For the energetic music video, Ink Bomb worked together again with Edwin Willemsen from Ambivalent Aardvark Productions who also shot the recent video for the song Human Remains. The video was shot in a so-called Instagram museum called Akwart Experience in the little town of Elst. Ink Bomb bassist Arina: “One of the rooms is covered in paint splashes, so a literal ink bomb exploded. This was just the perfect place for the video.”
Ink Bomb will be returning to the studio very soon to record more songs for their second album, expected in 2023.
Leo Donat je inače poznatiji kao gitarist/vokal melodic hardcore punk benda Me As Well iz Karlovca, a sada je izdao svoj solo acoustic EP. Na ovome malom čarobnom izdanju nalaze se pet pjesama, četiri na engleskom i jedna na hrvatskom jeziku. Ne znam kako će vas, no mene je ovo izdanje jako podsjetilo na akustične albume nikada prežaljenog pokojnog Tony Slya iz No Use For A Name, dakle emocionalni melodični akustični punk rock prve klase, od nekih stvari mi se naprosto naježila koža koliko su dobre, glazbeno i tekstualno, kao na primjer odlična ‘Long Time Coming’ koju sam vrtio ponovo i ponovo, kao i genijalne ‘Dear Friend’, te ‘Nisam Tu’. Ove pjesme mogu zamisliti i u Me As Well verzijama s dualnim Leovim i Majinim vokalima i ziher sam da i u toj inačici bi zvučale fenomenalno, ali ovako je odlično. Atmosfera, melodija, emocija. Zakon malo DIY izdanje, na ‘Name Your Price’ je, ali ako već skidate pošaljite rečenicu ili dvije Leu da vam se sviđa, siguran sam da će to cijeniti.
