I must admit that I didn´t hear for Insert Coin prior to this album, but that is the beauty of underground isn´t it? The scene constantly moves and we are discovering more and more excellent bands that put out their records every day. This Germans deliver powerful melodic punkrock/skatepunk in eleven songs on this mighty album. I loved every second listening to this album. It is so energetic, not necessary fast but mid tempo melodic tempo songs, with hooks that make you remember them for a long time after listening, catchy sing along choruses and I can only imagine how awesome this must sound played live at the gig. The lyrics are in English, all of them and they are of personal nature as far as I listened to the songs and interpreted them for myself in my head. This year is for me one of the best years in last five for sure regarding excellent new releases by awesome bands. Top songs for me: Sidetracked, Apology and See You In October.

We already featured Chump on the pages of this zine, but they recently released their new record, so it was about time to listen and review it in this zine.

These guys are hailing from Belgium, city of Liege area. Originally started in the end of the 1990-s, this band had some ups and downs, lineup changes and a pause, but since 2016.they are back playing many gigs and this album has been released recently with intro plus seven songs for your listening pleasure.

Chump plays melodic punkrock with skatepunk influences and a lot of skilled musicianship. The nice melodic and fast intro announces something beautiful and we got it in the shape of the song Punk Rock Family, an anthem celebrating the punkrock, friendship, gigs and freedom we all love so much. All the songs are awesome, but somehow the ones I love the most are She Makes Me Go Out Of My Mind, Heaven and Perfect Melody. The lyrics on the album are personal and the songs have awesome choruses to sing along with, hum them all they long and just enjoy great punkrock. Vocals are mighty, sung melodic, but also have power and strength in the voice, backing vocal harmonies are done with style and the guitar hooks are memorable. I enjoyed this album very much, so go get this one.
