(record review)UNIFORMS-Reasons To Breathe(Make That A Take Records/TNSrecords)

Uniforms are punk band from the east coast of Scotland. This is their new record out on Make That A Take Records and TNSrecords and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

Formed in 2011.these guys spent four years recording, touring and playing more than 200 gigs in UK, USA and Europe. They disbanded in 2015. Now, reformed in late 2017.with new vigour and strength they released their new e.p. with four songs. The music Uniforms play is melodic punkrock, but not fast skatepunk or technical stuff, but melodic and heartfelt punkrock with emotions behind the songs and done in a way that will appeal to the ears of every fan of such music. I am going to say that although all four songs on the record are great, two songs were highlights for me. Those are My Wise Friend and Searchlights. The vocals are rough but at the same time melodic and when you listen to the songs, the music somehow pulls you in and soothes you but at the same time gives you that warm punk energy to flow through your body. Welcome back Uniforms, nice to have you again on the scene.

(record review) Dry Life-Consumindo Ignorancia

South America has an awesome, vastly undiscovered and big underground hardcore punk scene. Dry Life are coming from Brasil and I listened and reviewed their new record.

The record contains 12 songs and the music these guys play is melodic hardcore. By melodic hardcore I don´t mean here Californian skatepunk style, more of a melodic hardcore with punkrock influences and the songs and melodies made me sad and somber during listening. I know that this should not be the case, but that just happened.  I don´t understand what the guys are singing about, because all the lyrics are in Portuguese language but as I get the titles it is a mix of personal and political lyrics. The vocals are nice, neither shouted nor cheesy, so they fit with the music really, really well. The backing vocals and harmonies are also done like they should be done. For me, the highlights of the album are Sorrisos Perfeitos and Moda.

Nice record, get and listen to this one, the miles should not divide us, because the great music will always connect us!

(news)Sunset Radio are back with the new album “All The Colors Behind You”

7c7cc305-ff1c-4e64-9d2b-b97b7ba65f06

Sunset Radio’s second album, “All The Colors Behind You”, will be released on October 15th via This is Core and Far Channel Records, and it’s a very ambicious one. “The whole album is a step forward from our last record ‘Vices’. We were influenced by pop-punk bands like State Champs, Neck Deep, Real Friends, as well as hardcore punk legends like No Use For A Name. Our goal on the new record was to blend this two worlds in one” says guitarist Matteo Rossi. After an year and half spent touring between Italy, Europe, Japan and Russia promoting “Vices”, the band returned home and started writing songs for what would become the framework for “All The Colors Behind You”. During This period the band experienced some line-up changes, introducing new guitarist Riccardo Tasselli and new bassist Alberto Felice along with founding members Matteo Rossi, Davide Pazzaglia e Andrea Neri. A new video taken from the first single “My Everything” will be available on September 26th. Watch the trailer here.

“All The Colors Behind You” was recorded at Studio 73 by Riccardo Pasini, who also recorded the first album “Vices”“During the writing process we collaborated with Fabrizio Pan from Melody Fall, that helped us finding the sound we were looking for. We’ve had around 15 songs in work, from which we selected 11 for the final tracklist. The title ‘All The Colors Behind You’ wants to express the feeling that people wear Masks in their lives, so is not easy to see their true colors and really know them” said the band “The record and the lyrics also have a lot to do with love, and the way It affectes our lives and our Daily routines”.
