ROT were already featured on the pages of this zine. This Mexican horror punk entity released new e.p. and it is upon us. This is the first full band e.p. and it contains 6 songs, one being intro. Lyrics are in English language and this is a clear step up in quality of songwriting and material. Music of ROT is pure raw and untamed horror punk full of gore, irony, horror and zombies. Songs like Punxombie, Skate Zombies and As We Roam are personal favorites of mine. Guitars are raw, diy and present the energy of punk, vocals are also screamed, shouted but also melodic. Love this one. Go support! Can´t wait for other material.
Zero Crew are back with new album and it is a full length bomb. Authority Zero are for sure one of the best live bands in the punk rock scene nowadays, so much energy, so much epic moments. After an excellent e.p. serving as kind of announcement for the new record, this time there are 13 songs mixing melodic hardcore, punk, reggae and ska in one epic and energetic bomb. The title song is a hit, I listened to it on previous e.p. and now for ten times in a row, such uplifting chorus and emotion in one song. Also The Good Fight, The Back Nine, Don´t Tear Me Down featuring guest performance by none other than Jim Lindberg of Pennywise are hits not to be missed and becoming instant Zero evergreens. Also, there is a guest performance by Igari Shuhei of HEY-SMITH on Ear To Ear, also being one of my personal favorites. This is probably one of the top three Authority Zero releases in the history of this excellent band. My recommendation.
Dutch punk rock bands No Breakfast Goodbye and Ink Bomb are in no way strangers to the pages of this webzine. They released this split record and I can safely say that this is one of the releases I was eager to listen and just couldn´t wait to come out. Each band offers three songs on this release. No Breakfast Goodbye play high energy melodic punk/skatepunk with such beautiful melodies and choruses I just enjoyed every second of their side. My personal NBG song is The Losers Club of these three presented on this record. Both bands are great, but somehow I like Ink Bomb a bit better, being a bit more raw and a bit more hardcore punk side of things yet retaining enough melody to be fantastic. My personal favorite from their side of the record is Dorothy Enters Technicolor. Nice split release indeed!
