Slovenians from Brussels, Belgium are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine, because I reviewed their last release a while ago. Now, they have a new e.p. out and it contains four songs of unrelenting skate punk madness. Negative Influence is for me the best song on this e.p. being fast skate punk anthem with lots of energy, harsh yet melodic vocal lines and catchy main melody. Get A Job is more garage punk influenced mid tempo more rock vibe song and it sounds interesting. Mobilehome has bass intro followed with almost sludgy song start and dirty guitar riffs sending raw punk spirit across our sound speakers to our hearts and minds. Vocals are spoken and in French on this one, varying between singing, angry reciting and whispering. Newbee In Town is again faster more straightforward punk song and my other highlight of this record. Good one.
The Dutch punk rock band No Breakfast Goodbye is releasing a new single today! The track ‘No Dice’ is part of the upcoming split EP the band recorded during the lockdown period with their friends from Ink Bomb. It’s the second single the band releases after “The Losers Club”.
Singer Simon Janssen: “No Dice is actually an up-tempo break-up song. It was about time to put an end to that chapter once and for all. Corny isn’t it?”
The entire split EP will be released worldwide on the 18th of June on CD and vinyl and is up for pre-order here.

Comrad are from Italy and UK and this is their new e.p. This is a relatively new punk rock band from Italy and bassist Andy also plays in Dead Neck from UK, well known to this zine. There are five songs on this release with lyrics being in Italian. I love this language it is so melodic and just made for making superb melodic punk songs with harmonies and everything. This band basically plays melodic punk rock yet there are some post punk influences and also pop and rock here and there. This is not your classical break neck speed skate punk. Songs are much more complex and much more layers are put into writing, emotional, somehow sad yet hopeful and make you smile and wish that you have a full length for listening. As far my Italian understanding goes, lyrics are personal and beautiful. So., this is a real nice release, hope full length will be upon us soon.
