(review) NH3-Superhero

nh3-19

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.

(new single) Burnt Tapes release new track Greek Wood

f74957ca-c24e-4363-aed9-5d83d633cb46

At the tail end of 2019 the Burnt Tapes returned back to the Ranch production house with producer Daly George (Creeper, Milk Teeth, Boston Manor, Darko) to record a couple of new tracks to bookend their debut album, ‘Never Better’.

A year after the album release, they present their first single ‘Greek Wood’. The track sees the band return on top form, by delivering the listener a healthy dose of what Burnt Tapes do best: Melodic punk rock with lyrics of regret.

Vocalist/Guitarist Pan says ”’Greek Wood’ is a coming of age song in all the wrong ways, lost youth, lost love, lost time. It is not a penis metaphor, although it could be if you want it to be.”

The track is released digitally today, March 27th via Wiretap Records in the US and Lockjaw Records in the EU/UK.

The band had to put various tour plans on hold whilst we all keep safe and sort out this COVID-19 problem, but expect them to return to the road as soon as possible.

(review) Svetlanas-Disco Sucks(Demons Run Amok)

svetlanas_cover_72dpi

Svetlanas is a band that functions between Italy and California and this is their brand new, fifth studio album out with Demons Run Amok. Olga, Nick Oliveri, Diste and Steve delivered fine piece with this new one. The album is featuring ten songs of unbridled, original and new punkrock with garage and hardcore influences, also some electronics thrown in here and there to make songs more interesting and fresh with super arrangements. Led by Olga˙s angry yet at times screaming, but also melodic vocals, driving guitars and great fast paced drums, this album is definitely a winner. I must admit that I never listened to Svetlanas prior to this record, but now I am a definite fan. We already heard two fine singles Jump and All I See Is Red, but rest of the material is even more powerful. Pussification Of Punk Rock and Karma Soldier are personal favorites of mine, being bombs of energy spat in the face of society. I can only imagine how this band sounds live, I am sure they are fantastic! Great album, I am definitely a fan.
