Chicago’s Jetsam-Flotsam is excited to announce the signing of Trenton, NJ four-piece Coach’s Son.

The label plans to release the band’s debut EP later this year.

Coach’s Son features ex-members of The Great Explainer (Panic State Records, Chunksaah Records) and The Ruining.

Check out “Parenthetical” a song off the upcoming EP here: https://coachsson.bandcamp.com/releases.

Jetsam-Flotsam is a family-owned, independent record label from the Chicago suburbs specializing in all kinds of punk-rock music.

Their purpose is to support and promote musicians who are pursuing their passions by releasing their music both in digital and antiquated physical formats–namely LP, EP, and CD.

The bands they support write moving music that falls under the broad umbrella of punk-rock but, above all, are also awesome, positive people.

(record review)Riteoff-“Fake it”

Leave a comment

Riteoff is a band from England that I must admit I have never heard of prior to this record, so I listened and reviewed it for this webzine. Read on!

The record contains five songs that are sailing more in the grungy and noise waters than pure punkrock. That means grungy vocal melodies, noisy parts in the songs, rolling drums and bass and a lot of greasy riffs. Don´t let the cover fool you, this is not some angry political hardcore punk shouting about smash the state and similar, this is emotional heartfelt music done from the heart. I am not a fan of such music, so I am not able to judge whether it is good or bad actually, but I can say that this is high quality song making done from the fans and for the fans! My personal favorite on this record is “Inflicted”.

(record review)THE RUN UP-Good Friends, Bad Luck(Uncle M Music/Real Ghost Records)

Leave a comment

Melodic punks from Bristol, UK released their new e.p. via Uncle M Music and Real Ghost Records and I am really glad that I had an opportunity to listen to this record and review it for this webzine.

The record contains 5 songs, one being instrumental, that thematically somehow summarize being DIY punk band and all the joys and problems it brings while touring and trying to keep it up as a band. The song  The Upside of Being Down is a mid tempo punkrock anthem to friendship, enduring in hard times, hope and the vocals totally fit in the music being neither too melodic nor too harsh. Check out the video for that song that the guys made it is right below! I really love the UK punkrock scene having so many bands and records coming out almost every week and month! Captain is another strong song with nice guitar work and my personal favorite on this record. I love how this song turns into faster skatepunk anthem in the middle of the song. Etherial Ghost somehow has that sad vibe, nostalgia that I can not explain that made me day dreaming of better times and happy places. Keep Going gives the listener hope and leaves him/her with a smile on the face and with full heart. This is a strong record!
