Late Show are hailing from Seattle and this is their new EP containing four songs. The music of Late Show can be described as a kind of mixture between noisy and raw garage punk rock with more melodic punk. ‘Cold Beer, White Pills’ is your typical raw garage punk song with some grungy influences in couple of song parts, especially in guitar riffing. ‘Pizza, Beaches & Weed’ is what I said above, keeping raw garage punk touch but also having more melodic vocal lines and sing along chorus so stupid that you catch yourself singing along to it. ‘Watchin’ You’ has more dirty rock ‘n roll overtones and I would love so much if that guitar was a bit more distorted and having more explosive and buzzing sound than that. This record earns more to seventies punk rock than more contemporary punk that is being played. ‘College Education’ is the weirdest song on the record and at times reminded me of Fugazi and similar bands, but maybe it is only me. This EP was somehow not my cup of tea, so to say, with me being fan of more melodic and faster stuff.

(review)Trash Room-Boots On The Ground

The riot girrrrl punkrock lives and is stronger than ever! Trash Room from USA have a new record out and they play merciless, energetic, full in your face raw punk. There are 8 fast and strong songs on this beauty. The songs are raw and fast, but there are some catchy melodic undertones with singer Amber doing the melody, shouting and making a difference with the fantastic voice whether more reciting or screaming, the vocals are main drive behind great guitar work. The songs make pretty dark atmosphere within the listener but it is great they do so. My favorite tracks on the album are: Hold Fast, Bare Your Teeth, Fight For It All. Cool record, so go listen and share it, support the scene!
