This record contains three songs of melodic punkrock but what makes it different from the other bands in that genre are the harsh but melodic vocals. Those vocals fit really great in the song structures and additional gang and backing vocals make anthemic choruses just made for singing along with this band. The music of this band somehow reminded me really much of Croatian band Mašinko because they make similar urban melodic and up tempo punkrock and I loved this record very much. The lyrics are personal as far I understand and there is a lot of bitterness and irony and emotion behind the lyrics, at least I think so. All three songs are great, but somehow I love “Love Is a Noose For Two” somehow the most. Great record!
This is the first official live album by The Obnoxious from Rotterdam, recorded on their home territory, in their hometown. The record came out on mighty WTF Records to somehow bridge the gap and appease the fans until the release of their new studio full length.
The album contains 15 songs setlist by these scene veterans from the nineties. I must admit that I didn˙t listen to this band prior to getting my paws on this record, so I am glad I discovered this band. The music this band plays is hardcore punk that is pretty harsh and has a lot of metallic influences but also has plenty of melodic underlines. I must also mention the humour and ironic lyrics of the songs that somehow mirror the today˙s state of the world. As far as my taste goes, I love the faster more hardcore songs like “The End Of The World” or “Hide Your Head Away” for example, songs made for circle pit and stage diving. This live album shows how much energy can this fine band release and with songs like “The Dancing Soldier Song” , “State of Anarchy” and “Rotterdamn it” you just can`t go wrong!
