Housewarming Party are punk band from Salt Lake City and they just released their debut full length album. This band was formed in 2016.and released, as they say it, two and half e.p.-s until now and this is their debut album containing 11 songs. The music of Houswarming Party can be described as melodic mid tempo punkrock not unlike The Menzingers, Nothington, The Flatliners, Lawrence Arms and similar bands, meaning heartfelt melodies in vocal lines, beautiful melodic guitar riffs, memorable choruses and harmonies on backing vocals. When I was younger, about ten or so years ago, I would just laugh and wave my hands on such bands because I was only into faster and more hardcore bands, but I like these now. The songs like Cinderblocks, Work Week or Original Muscle Beach are sure to become your instant hits with this band. A strong debut indeed!
Tio Rico are from Manchester, UK and this is their debut record coming out with Horn & Hoof Records. Formed in 2014.Tio Rico released 3 singles and an e.p. This is their first full length album and it contains 11 songs. The music of Tio Rico can simply be categorized as punk. It is a kind of dirty, rawer sounding version of punk, yet keeping enough melody in verses, guitars and choruses to be called melodic punk. There are some indie and pop influences here and there with some garage punk and noise too. The vocals are raspy, raw, but sing and fit perfectly to the music. The lyrics are personal and I think all of us can relate to the themes of the songs. The songs that I somehow find the best on the album are Plastic, Mon Femme and Don´t Tell Me To Smile. This is a good debut album and I am interested to see how they will sound in the future.
Stand Up Stacy is a punk rock / alternative rock band hailing from Munich, Germany. The guys are known for their explosive live concerts and their big, melodic sound.
The guys are lifting the typical punk rock sound of Blink-182 or Sum 41 to another level and found their way to bring the sound of the big rock bands of the 2000’s to the present day, mixing great choruses and driving beats with interesting influences and harmonies.
On their new single “Something To Believe”, the band comments: “It’s the first single from our first full album, “The Magnificent You”. It’s a song about being trapped in your own head, not able to find an exit. Too often, people tend to focus on those little negative things, which sum up to a heavy burden for you and your surroundings.
This song is a wakeup call: don’t let go of the positiveness that can be found everywhere around you. Step out of your shadow. Find Something To Believe.”
With a host of plans in the works for next year, there’s definitely nothing stopping Stand Up Stacy! The band’s debut full length, “The Magnificent You”, will indeed be out in spring 2020. Stay tuned!
