(review) Back Pedal – ‘Stress’

I love discovering some bands like Back Pedal. These guys are hailing from Missouri and this is their new release containing seven songs. The music of Back Pedal is superb, mix of styles that I love in pop punk and melodic punk rock. That means it’s as if I listen to Descendents mixed with Teenage Bottlerocket or The Lillingtons. This is energetic fast and ultra melodic punk rock with short but sweet songs, not unlike above mentioned bands. Vocals are great, melodic and not snotty, but I would love if they could be a bit more louder in the next recordings of this excellent band. Guitars are raw and remind of early Ramones guitar work, the drummer is singer for this band, so that is another plus for me. I would like to see this band deliver their music live, I am sure they are energetic and fun as Hell to check out live. My personal favorites on this record are: ‘T.H.P.S.’, ‘Little Psycho’ and ‘Adore’. Great one, I look forward to more stuff from Back Pedal.

(review) The Lillingtons – Can Anybody Hear Me? (A Tribute To Enemy You)

cover

Mighty The Lillingtons released a new e.p. as tribute to Enemy You and their fallen brother. I must say that I did not listen to Enemy You prior to this record and this is a revelation. There are six songs on this one, all being fantastic and this music fits perfectly to The Lillingtons style and Kody Templeman´s voice is so great singing these anthems. Songs like Hopes And Dreams, Awake and Automaton are my personal favorites. So, if you love Ramonescore, fast punkrock with melody and epic hooks and choruses, this is the right one for ya. Touching and nice tribute to the fallen brother. Go get this one.

(review) Huntingtons-¡Muerto, Carcel, O Rocanrol!

 

coverLegendary Huntingtons are back with new record. I must admit that I have heard the name of the band all the time, but actually always somehow failed to listen to their music until now. What an ignorant fool I was. This music is heaven. I must admit that they are in the same rank as Teenage Bottlerocket with their ultramelodic Ramonescore, that means becoming one of my favorite bands. This 14 songs offer some of the best melodic pop punk carrying the legacy of Ramones in song arrangements, simple three chord bombs, fantastic vocal lines and anthemic choruses. Although this record came out early this year, it is for sure one of the contenders for the record of the year. Recommended songs: Not Penny˙s Boat, You Don˙t Have To Go, Too Old To Care.
