Wow! What a nice surprise with two bands that were already featured on the pages of our zine. afeyearslater from Hungary, deliver two songs in their trademark fast and furious melodic hardcore punk with superb melodic vocals and harsh but melodic riffs topped with fast drumming.
Trophy Jump from Zagreb, Croatia deliver a bit calmer song with Glass Bell, melodic punkrock song with beautiful lyrics that I can certainly relate to a lot. Second song called Bazooka Blaze has a weird yet interesting sound of trumpet which makes it kinda unusual but cool. Both cool bands, both cool music, so go listen and support your scene.
The Bombpops were always for me a band that was better sounding live than on their releases. Well, the new album is a candy for your listening pleasure. I can safely say that it is their best record to date, with so many superb melodies, anthemic singalong choruses. beautiful harmonies of the dual vocals. Jen and Poli do such fine job with interplaying their voices thus creating soundscape that makes you smile and brights up your day. Of all the 12 songs my favorites are hard to pick, but I will try. They are: Double Arrows Down, Sad To Me, In The Doghouse. This is one of the better albums that came out in this fucked up and sad year.
Italian ska core masters NH3 are back with the brand new record! Here we have 12 songs of melodic and upstart punkrock filled with ska and hardcore parts plus a Fugazi cover, enough harsh to appeal to more hardcore fans, yet enough melodic to appeal to the punks who love their music more anthemic and melodic. Some Talco parallels are unavoidable so they even have Dema from Talco featuring as guest on Utopia. Anestesia is one of my personal favorites on the record being a bit more hardcore sounding, with almost nervous riff parts in the song. Liquido, Fantasma(featuring Gab) and Life are also the songs I could recommend to you. I am sad to say that I have never seen these guys perform live, I am sure they are fun as hell to watch and dance to live. Go get this one.
