Things are much better coping with all that no gigs and festivals covid shit, now that Mad Caddies delivered their new e.p. with Fat Wreck Chords.
Californian ska reggae punks this time released an e.p. featuring 5 songs of their trademark melodic punk mixed with reggae and ska and brass instruments. Chuck sings like an angel hehe and the songs are just fantastic. Let It Go is a song in reggae style about letting go the love although it hurts with nice melody and I can totally relate. What is my favorite song on the record is doo wop influenced Waiting For The Real Thing, being a bit different and great than the rest of the material. Strange Days has so beautiful chorus and harmonies that make you hum and sing it the whole day after listening to the record over and over again. Dogs Of War is a classic MC song with flowing vocal verse lines, anthemic chorus and shows how this band never gets boring or stale. Wake My Baby is acoustic starting song turning into upbeat piano backed song and gentle lyrics and melody. This is awesome e.p. and I really can´t wait for the new full length.
Time flies, who would have thought that this is already 25th birthday of our favorite Arizona sons called Authority Zero. What better way to celebrate than with live album which represents practically all parts of their career, hits that made them loved and respected by hordes of fans in the world. What I love about this live record that it captures all the rawness of hardcore punk this band provides in their basics added with all the melody and reggae parts and of course tight musicianship making them one unstoppable force to reckon with. The non stop singing along by the crowd made goosebumps on my skin while listening to this one. All the older hits like One More Minute, Over Seasons, Mesa Town, Revolution are here, but also new hits like When We Rule The World and Broadcasting To The Nations. This is a great document celebrating the birthday of this much loved band.
Authority Zero are heading for European tour and here are the dates. Are you going to some of these shows?
