(record review)Melodic energetic bomb from Serbia DOGHOUSE-“Never Cry Wolf”(Morning Wood Records)

cover

Morning Wood Records quickly becomes one of the best European labels delivering strong melodic punk hardcore records all the time. This time, Serbian melodic punk hardcore band Doghouse released their new album and boy, I just cant get enough of it. Hailing from Belgrade, Serbia, these fellows were formed in 1998.so next year I suppose will be 20th anniversary for these guys.

They were pretty successfull in their time, but in 2006.they went on hiatus only to be reformed again in 2013. They signed to Morning Wood Records in 2015.and released a great comeback e.p.”Dysfunction”.

Now, it is time for the new album. There are 10 songs on the new record, all great, fast paced punkrock with a lots of melody and energy, played with heart and conviction. The lyrics are in English language and I guess, from the listening that they deal with more personal issues. The whole vibe of the album is nice nostalgic nod towards 90-ies and punkrock scene then, but at the same time it sounds fresh and awesome. The other thing that I liked very much is the vocals. The vocals dont sound cheesy and snotty, quite the contrary, they are like rougher but singing great melodies at the same time. It is very hard to give the top songs from the record because they are all great, but I will try. For me, the top songs are: “Drone” and “Goodbye”. Great record for all of you who love your punkrock done that way.
