Something’s Cursed are from Queens, New York and this is their new release. This one contains five songs of emotional melodic punk rock with some pop punk and even horror punk influences in some songs. The songs are mainly mid tempo with some more aggressive up tempo excursions like in awesome I Remember That Fall, one of my personal favorites on this little record. Vocals are nice, remind me at times of Greg from Bouncing Souls, some music too. The songs are really written nice with some memorable melodies that you catch yourself humming or whistling afterwards not even realizing that this is from this little release. Lyrics are personal and songs like Cigarettes & Therapy or maybe Societal Lobotomy are about to win you over. Good punk rock.

Nadir are punk band from Queens, New York area and this is their self released record which I listened and reviewed for our zine.
Nadir is an interesting name, hopefully the guys were inspired by the Nadir tribe horde from David Gemmel´s novels for the name of the band. This trio features Robbie Swartwood of Off With Their Heads singing and playing guitar with Mike Foti on bass and and Arthur Bergevin on drums. The music of Nadir is punk with pretty depressive and darkened atmosphere or that is how I felt when I listened to the record. There are 8 songs on this record and the record as a whole has very nice rawer sounding production with great song structures mainly midtempo punkrock from the heart with two acoustic punk songs. For me, somehow Early Graves, Paper Trails and Born To Die Alone somehow worked the best but all of the songs are great raw, yet melodic punkrock with a lot of atmosphere and emotion. Good one.
