(review) Split Tongue – ‘Living In Sin City EP’
Split Tongue are hailing from Malaysia and this is an EP containing intro and five songs of angry old school hardcore punk, meaning these guys are still leaning more in punk roots and side of things than in more modern metallic hardcore waters like it is popular today in the scene. This means fast drumming, cutting edge guitars and angry barked vocals with heavy hitters like ‘Think’, ‘Classwar’ or ‘Spirit’ you just can’t go wrong. Makes you pump your fist in the air and hug the sweaty kid in the pit next to you and sing along to gang backing vocals and join the band in delivering tons of hardcore energy and feeling it. Too bad this is just such short record, but it is sweet. Go and listen. Hardcore lives!
(review) Missbliss! – ‘Double Death Deluxe Edition’
Missbliss! are hailing from Newport, North Carolina and this is their debut EP in deluxe edition. There are six songs of horror vaudeville here on this little opus mixing punk rock, death rock, horror punk and shock rock into one intense yet fun as Hell drama and gory glory as the song says haha! I just love bands such as this one. I love the use of samples of murder news, guignol theatre intro and all the sampling in general between the songs. Vocals are more death rock sounding, but there are such fine melodies that make you crawl with goosebumps like awesome ‘Away From Me’. My personal hit is ‘Killing U Tonite’ being more straightforward horror punk song hit and reggae/horror punk like ‘TURNT’, but all the songs on this little opus are worth checking out if you are into horror/shock rock so go get this one. I wonder if the name of the band was inspired by one of my favorite girl wrestlers of all time, Alexa Bliss hehe.
