Kao uvijek, bend sve radi sam, od šminke do odjavne špice. Glavnina spota napravljena je u stop-motion tehnici, za što je bilo potrebno samo 999 fotki. Možda se bend idući put odluči za digitalne fotoaparate umjesto razvijanja kilometara filma.
Bend kaže: “Plan nam je napraviti video za svaku od deset pjesama sa novog albuma, a “Failing as an Adult” je peti po redu. Prava prigoda da se poslužimo riječima Jona Bon Jovia – woooah, we’re halfway there”.
Italian punk rock veterans Los Fastidios are back with a new release celebrating thirty years in existence! For those that do not know this band yet, Los Fastidios play a mixture of street punk, more on a melodic side of things and ska punk, lyrics being in Italian and English. For my taste, better songs on this album are those done in a more street punk way, being quite little anthems like Torneremo Ancora or These Boots. Singer Enrico has a recognizable voice and his English improved a little over the years hehe. Guitar work is nice, nothing new or revolutionary but somehow celebrating life, positivity and vital energy that somehow gets lost in the rush of this modern world. But, also some songs bring a feeling of melancholy in me, like for example The Queen of the Dancefloor. Elisa brought new energy to the band with her voice like for example in Beverley. This band has always been known for promoting positivity, anti fascist and anti racist ideas, besides usual street punk topics, so go and have a listen to these veterans. You will not regret it.
New Jersey punk rock quartet DOC ROTTEN will be releasing a politically-charged collection of brand new songs appropriately titled Unite Resist on March 25, 2022 via Working Class Productions. Recently, they shed some light on the mental health crisis in America with their music video for “Psych Ward 103” by D.I.Why? Films. Vinyl preorder and tour dates are forthcoming.
These 16 tracks of raw punk rock were produced, engineered and mixed by Pete Steinkopf at Little Eden in Asbury Park, NJ and mastered by Sean Glonek at SRG Studios in Hamilton, NJ. “Unite Resist is about being at the end of your rope when realizing your government doesn’t serve its citizens but serves special interests,” explains vocalist Wes Bentley. “These corporations are ruining society and creating poverty and the only way to fix it is to unite together, and let your voices be heard. Don’t comply, stop acquiescing, and simply say no in non-violent civil disobedience. It’s about mutual love and respect, yet remaining vigilant against injustices amongst others.”
From the circle pit anthem that helps you realize that the majority of us are all in this day-to-day life together and have the power to make changes (“Open Your Eyes”) to falling in love at rehab (“Psych Ward 103”) to being forced into a fiat monetary system (“Corpses”) to the death of the middle class (“Drowning”) to self-reflection and accepting where you are in the present (“15 Years”) – Unite Resist examines society, politics, and oneself.
Doc Rotten formed in Trenton, NJ during the Winter of 2017. After a few local shows, the punk rock quartet immediately went into the studio to record their debut EP Fallout. Followed by their sophomore EP Sick and Suffering six months later, they set out on their very first tour. Their blue-collar mindset and work ethic constantly push them to write, record, and tour. The release of their third EP Illusion To Choose took them all over the world including Japan, Europe, and Canada.
DOC ROTTEN is Wes Bentley (vocals, guitar), AJ Martinez (drums), Andy Keris (lead guitar), and Doug Pombo (bass).
