Punk rockers Ink Bomb releases new music video: Tough Cookie

Leave a comment

The Dutch melodic punk rock band Ink Bomb releases a new song today: Tough Cookie. With this song, the foursome returns to the punk side of melodic punk rock: it’s an old-fashioned, explosive mosh track. However, Ink Bomb wouldn’t be Ink Bomb if they wouldn’t hide a teensy bit of melody in the song: the second verse has a dreamy synth sound, buried deep between the hardcore choruses.

The music video was shot by Sanne Nijenhuis and captures Ink Bomb as they feel the most in their element: giving their all on stage. Some parts were filmed in the legendary venue Willemeen in Arnhem.

If that wasn’t enough: Tough Cookie also features drummer Paul van de Geijn’s vocal solo debut: he starts the song by counting to four in Dutch, with a typical non-rhotic Nijmegen-style ‘r’ at the end of the word ‘vier’.

According to singer Joost Hoedemaeckers the song is about someone who is less and less able to handle the sorry state of the world. Things he loves are disappearing and he wants to escape from it all (‘In case of emergency, break glass’). Warning: don’t do a suicide quite yet! Just start by fighting back, with a little help from your friends. The artwork refers to the importance of friendship.

Tough Cookie is different from most other Ink Bomb songs and shows how much the band has changed since its carefree skate punk days in 2015. The second album, to be released in 2024, will contain more melancholy with many different influences, for example new wave, indie rock, and grunge.

Biography Ink Bomb
Dutch punkrock band Ink Bomb is busy writing, recording and releasing a new album in 2024. Three singles and accompanying videos for this sophomore album have already been released. The new songs contain the signature Ink Bomb sound: fast, aggressive songs that don’t always follow the standard song structure or punk rock cliches, but do always contain beautiful melodies and a refreshing dose of melancholy.

Ink Bomb loves playing live: from sweaty basements throughout Europe to cool festivals. The band is an active live band at home and is also eager when it comes to foreign tours. Belgium, Germany, Denmark and England have all been exposed to the Bad Religion and No Fun At All inspired Ink Bomb sound. Furthermore the band have played several festivals including the prestigious Valkhof festival in their home town Nijmegen, Jera On Air and Haltpop. They have shared the stage with bands like The Toy Dolls, SNFU, The Last Gang, I Against I, MakeWar and Martha.

Ink Bomb has released new music almost every year in its existence. The lastest release was a split album with No Breakfast Goodbye (2021). In that same year the band also rerecorded their classic song “Invincible Summer.” Earlier releases include debut album Fiction (2016), ep Swim (2017), ep Invincible Summer (2016) and several acoustic covers for charity.

Prepare for a sonic explosion as punk rock discovery Elukas drops the official video for “Vein.” This power-packed track is part of their EP “Loomad Koos,” scheduled for re-release through Wormholedeath.In their music video “Vein”, the band showcased an unwavering DIY spirit, working with a short budget. The video’s direction was skillfully handled by their bassist, Alan, who was eager to explore his talents as a music video director. Impressively, all the daring stunts featured in the video were executed by their nearly-semiprofessional stuntman, who also happens to be the band’s lead vocalist, Karl.The song itself delves into the theme of addiction, and the band wanted to convey that message visually in the video. Even if the lyrics might not be crystal clear to all their listeners, Elukas hopes the video tells the story in a powerful and visual way.
Experience the punk-rock revolution as Elukas unleashes “Vein” on the world.

(review) Abergaz – ‘Dihotomija zbilje’

Leave a comment

Jednu stvar se mora priznati Sonji, ona nikada ne odustaje. Ovo je već tko zna koji po redu album njenog projekta odnosno benda Abergaz, koji je, koliko vidim opet bend koji se sastoji od dvoje članova ako se ne varam. Na ovom novom izdanju nalazi se osam pjesama u prepoznatljivom brzom i britkom hardcore punk stilu. Tekstovi su buntovni, Sonja izražava što njoj smeta u današnjem društvu, a tematike ima podosta. Iako se radi o ponekim minimalističkim skoro haiku tekstovima, kada se čita između redova ima smisla ono o čemu se pjeva. Pjesme poput ‘EU projekti’ su brze male ode onom o čemu Sonja razmišlja. Postoje i minimalističke pjesme poput ‘Mobitel’, a moj osobni favorit na ovom albumu je ‘Malo Govno’ koje završava album u velikom stilu. Vokali se razlikuju od melodičnog pjevanja do skoro maničnog vikanja, ovisno o tome što je pjesmi potrebno. Pjesme su sve uglavnom brze sa tupa tupa bubnjevima što meni odgovara i to jako. Ovo nije najbolje izdanje Abergaza, ali je sigurno jedno od boljih u zadnjih nekoliko godina.
