(record review)HUMMER-“Budweiser and Butter”(Horn and Hoof Records)

Leave a comment

Hummer is a punkrock trio from UK, this is their second e.p. that came out on mighty Horn and Hoof Records, so I listened to the record and reviewed it for this webzine. I love discovering new bands that I hadn´t heard before!

“Budweiser and Butter” is the second e.p. from Hummer, following up on 2016’s “Work.Home.Bed”. This record contains 8 songs of excellent melodic punkrock played with heart and soul. If I must compare this band to someone I could draw some The Menzingers and The Lawrence Arms paralels. Bassist Will Atkinson and guitarist Joe Watson interplay on dual vocals just great, one delivering a bit harsher voice and the other one being a bit more melodic, not to mention excellent backing vocals meaning heavenly harmonies on anthemic choruses made for humming the whole day long. The lyrics are personal and with a lot of emotions lying behind the meanings of the songs, I love punkrock with emotions in the songs, so you can just feel the warmth, sadness, happiness and find yourself in the beautiful songs. Until recently, I only liked the faster more straightforward stuff, but in the last couple of years I started to love and found myself in emotional punkrock melodies. I love this record! Show some love and drop some lines to the band I just know it would mean a lot to them! Listen their music and hear the melodies and hear the emotions! Top songs: “Turpentine”, “Stone Cold Wasted”.

(record review)The Flatliners-“Mass Candescence e.p.”(Dine Alone Records)

Leave a comment

The Flatliners released their new e.p. via Dine Alone Records. I count myself lucky that I was able to listen and review the record for this webzine.

The record contains three songs and it practically continues where the current studio album “Inviting Light” left off. This means melodic punkrock with a lot of emotions behind the music and lyrics. “The Arousal of Repair” is for me the best song on this record being straight in the head and when I listen to this song I am talking about some classy punkrock forya. When I was a younger kid I didn´t like bands like The Flatliners because I thought that they were too slow and calm for my rebel punkrock taste. Nowadays things are different and I dig bands like these a lot. Frontman Chris Cresswell sounds better than ever and “Moves Too Quickly” is a song based on nice vocal melody and great guitar memorable melodies to support it. “Wide eyes” complete the album nicely creating that hole that just leaves you wanting more. I guess that is what makes this record great!
