(review) launch control-attention economy e.p.

lc_cover_04_final

Launch Control are coming from UK, Reading to be more exact and this is their brand new e.p. containing five songs.  The music of this band could be categorized as melodic punkrock with some pop punk influences, but with sociopolitical lyrics and sensitivity, bringing back to punkrock something incredibly missed in the last couple of years. These five songs are really fine fitting perfectly to the mood of the e.p. The themes are bigotry(Zombigots/Cult of Ignorance), religion(Marketing for Martyrs-my favorite on this record), economy and internet(Attention Economy-also my favorite song on the record) to political greed(Paper Tiger), the songs are cleverly written and I love how the smart use of the synth in some songs epmhasizes the overall almost etherial yet harsh vibe with nice vocals adding to the momentum. This is a real nice little e.p. and I can`t wait for the full length to arrive.

Evo nakon dugo vremena jednog posta na matičnom jeziku. Uveli smo novitet u zine koji se zove bend tjedna.  U ovoj prvoj epizodi predstavljamo punkrock/streetpunk bend iz Apatina, Srbija, a to je Majkan.

Majkan je punk rock bend iz Apatina, oformljen u siječnju 2019.g. Bend je u početku svirao obrade domaćih punk grupa, ali ubrzo počinju raditi i autorske pjesme. Prvi single za pjesmu  Ajmo u kafanu  su objavili u studenom 2019g.  Pjesma u kratkom vremenu postala hit i omogućila bendu promociju i brojne nastupe. Početkom 2020.g Majkan izdaje drugi single za pjesmu Dobro veče, kojim stiču još više publike. Poslije pauze izazvane pandemijom, Majkan nastavlja sa radom i krajem svibnja je izašao treći single Kao pre. Pjesma dobija dobre kritike i bend u lipnju održava nekoliko uspješnih koncerata. Krajem lipnja, objavljen je četvrti single za pjesmu  Laku Noć”. Spot sadrži kadrove sa nastupa iz Apatina, Novog Sada i Stapara. Sve  pjesme su snimljene pod producentskom palicom Nemanje Kalinića

Bend trenutno radi na novim pjesmama i uskoro se očekuje još jedan singl. 

Majkan čine iskusni muzičari koji su svirali u mnogim metal, punk i rock bendovima. Bend svoju pravu snagu pokazuje na koncertima gdje dolazi do velike razmene  energije između njih i publike. Članovi benda su : Igor Bukvić – bubnjevi , Nemanja Kalinić – gitara i prateći vokali, Rade Balać – vokal i bas. 

 

(review) Bracket-bEST OF WURST(SBAM RECORDS)

cover

Bracket are back with new release on mighty Sbam Records. This one is a thirteen song record made of b-sides, demos and acoustic versions of some hits that this band provided during the years in the scene. What is there to say? Those who love Bracket will love this record too, consider it as a gift from band to the fans around the world making quite a few punkrockers faces happy in these shitty times with no gigs and festivals totally ruining the year and Summer and everything, but records like this one somehow make it hurt a bit less. My favorites on this record are When I Think Of You, an acoustic version of 2Rak005 and 867-5309-Jenny. This is the gift for the fans from the band, so if you are a fan you will not regret it, this is quality melodic punkrock with a touch of pop punk in the song structures.
