killorbekilled

The Nailheads are a punk rock band from Montreal, Quebec Canada in 2008. The band was created and has been led by songwriter Ritchy Nails (lead vocals, bass, acoustic guitar), who has remained a constant presence and lead songwriter throughout the band’s first 3 full length releases. Live To See Tomorrow, is due for release on July 2nd, 2021 through Dental Records & Stand Productions, and is their 4th full length album, and first release since 2016.  

The first single (Kill or Be Killed) has just been released.

On “Live To See Tomorrow”, Nails takes the role of storyteller to new heights, as he leads the listener on a punk inspired rock and roll journey, infused with elements of soul, R&B, folk-County, and gospel music.In the beginning, the band had more of a  “garage punk” style, but The Nailheads have been consistently developing their style into a more rock and roll, folk-country, and early R&B -influenced style of punk.  The band has toured extensively since their formation, having played well over 500 shows in seven countries, and continue to tour and record music.

(review) Useless ID – Most useless songs (Fat Wreck Chords)

Cover

I met Yotam and Ishay from Useless ID couple of years ago at Punk Rock Holiday when we did an interview for this zine and I can say they are most friendly, down to earth people I met in this scene. Now, Useless ID released their kinda best of greatest hits album on Fat Wreck Chords. This record contains all the songs that are standard parts of their live set, fan favorites, some hits and some misses hehe. I have always been fascinated how these guys can transform their music from angry hardcore kids to emotional melodic almost indie pop punk and back again to skatepunk hardcore. Besides my favorites like State is burning, Night shift, How to dismantle an atom bomb or Night stalker, there are also two new songs which are fuckin amazing. So, go grab this one, if you are a fan you will love it, if you are not a fan you will become one soon.

(book review) Do What You Want The Story Of Bad Religion – Jim Ruland and Bad Religion

bad-religion-do-what-you-want-400x604

I have waited for a long time to read this one and now that I have, I must say that I am satisfied with this book. Bad Religion are one of the most important punk rock bands in the world and especially in melodic punk hardcore genre and they recently celebrated 40 years in the scene. This book is an autobiography of all ups and downs, from early days till today. Depicts all line-up changes and heartbreaks, alcohol and drug abuse problems and major label controversy. Also, this book has healthy dose of anecdotes that I wanted to read about mixed with more historical contents, like the rise of Epitaph Records and all that punk rock boom in the nineties. This band was always special to me, because through their album Generator I discovered melodic punk and skatepunk scene and my life hasn´t been the same since, that being my other love besides metal. This book is easy to read, it is interesting and doesn´t let up until the very end making you go play all your favorite BR records and songs over and over again celebrating this great band. I saw them play live only once in 2018 and I will definitely check them out as soon gigs and festivals start again. Until then, go get this nice book.
