I met Ray Carlisle at this years Punk Rock Holiday when he was playing ball in front of the stage in the hot afternoon hours with his kid Milo. Later that night they delivered mindblowing fantastic gig, that will stay in my memory for as long as I live. This seven inch is in fact the split e.p. of Teenage Bottlerocket and Ray´s kid Milo´s one man band Human Robots. Both bands provided two songs with Teenage Bottlerocket having two songs Everything To Me and Olivia Goes To Bolivia delivering mindblowing pop punk Ramonescore like we are used to from this fantastic band. Human Robots´side delivers two songs Step On ´Em All and I Want To Hang Out With You. The latter being a bit better, but it is the fine effort from this young man and if he continues that way, the future is bright for him, because he will for sure make killer music one day.
Italy´s Goofy Head released their new record with Lostdog Records and I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.
Italian underground scene is full of excellent bands of all genres and Goofy Head are a band just to my liking. They play melodic punk and play it fast, some call it Ramonescore, in the vein of Teenage Bottlerocket, The Lillingtons, Screeching Weasel…meaning fast paced drums, beautiful vocal and guitar melodies and three chords punk, ready, steady, go! The lyrics to the songs are horror and sci fi inspired in many songs, but also have a lot humour in them. This band must surely sound super live, so I would definitely have to catch them somewhere when they play gigs. This is feel good record to return smile to your weary face on this hot Summer days. Recommended songs: Evil Sweet, Scream Queen Chica, Now And Again.
