(record review)THE MONSTER ONES-“Bat Thunder”

Leave a comment

You know, dear reader, that the love between us, the makers of this webzine and horrorpunk is everlasting and will never die! So, this time we present you THE MONSTER ONES, horrorpunk band from Palma De Mallorca, Spain. I listened and reviewed their new album for this webzine.

Existing since 2008.this Spaniards mix their vision of horrorpunk with glam rock, rockabilly and deathrock influences in their music, but fuck it, it´s mainly horrorpunk. These four guys and one girl delivered a real powerhouse of the album with tight musicianship, strong songs and not sounding like anyone´s clone and that is often a problem within horrorpunk scene. The album contains 11 songs with the titles like “Slasher” or “Body Snatchers” you just can´t go wrong! This music is not for the fans of straightforward simple in your face horrorpunk like The Misfits or Blitzkid, this is tougher, rocking horrorpunk made for wrecking with spilled beer all over you and another beer in your fist! “Funnel of Love” is cover by Wanda Jackson and the singer Cecile did a really wonderful job with her strong but melodic voice and she reminded me a bit of Krista Kat from Silver Shine. This is a good album, so support the guys and write them a line or two and buy their album if you are a fan of such music!

(record review)Dead Girls Academy-“Alchemy”(Victory Records)

1 Comment

The story behind Dead Girls Academy is an exceptional one. It is a story about endurance, spite, learning to live again and to cope and it is very inspirational and makes you wanna get out in the morning and shout out to life, being alive and enjoying the music. I listened and reviewed this record for this webzine and it was very emotional for me. The record is out on Victory Records.

Michael Orlando lived in Los Angeles, had a band, toured and lived a rock ´n´roll lifestyle what many young people in his years only could desire. Then, a highway bus accident took his life. He died but lived. Brief death was an experience that marked him.

Three years of endurance, reconstructive surgery went by, with only one dream, to play again. Michael and his best friend Ronnie Radke (Falling In Reverse) formed new band, Dead Girls Academy and made an album. This is it. The album contains 11 songs of darkened melodic punkrock, vampiric punkrock if you want it that way. Growing up in Hollywood, Michael Orlando saw a lot of weird stuff, so there is no lack of inspiration lyricwise. Also, the album is in my opinion one great catharsis and showdown with his inner demons and all it took to endure what he endured. I enjoyed this album so much! From “I´ll find a way” to “I can´t feel a thing” this is so dark but uplifting. The mixture of melody, punkrock energy, gothic darkness and glammy sweat is what makes this album special. I always listen to the whole record when I do a review for this webzine and listening to this record was a unique experience and Michael´s work and this band and music is a continuing inspiration for me and this webzine.

(record review)THE LONGSHOT-“Love is for losers”

Leave a comment

I listened to the debut e.p. by THE LONGSHOT couple of weeks ago and I wasn´t impressed much with what I heard.

Cover

Now it is time for their debut full length album and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.  For those of you who don´t know it yet, The Longshot is the new band fronted by Billie Joe Armstrong, known as frontman of some little pop punk band called Green Day. Sounds familiar, eh? Joke. The album contains eleven songs of melodic punkrock bordering with a lot of poppier side of punkrock. Don´t get me wrong, the songs are pure quality and production wise the album sounds brilliant, but somehow it just didn´t work with me upon neither first nor second listening. It was just too mellow and too weak songs to like it. The last Green Day record was much stronger compared to this material, I know those are not the same bands and all that, but the songs on this album are just somehow too similar one to another. There are couple of okay tracks like for example “Kill your friends” or “Goodbye to romance” but just not enough compared to the boring ones. If you are a fan of Green Day or Billie Joe´s work you´ll dig this one. If not, do not bother.
