(review) Streets To Ourselves – Suspension Of Disbelief

a4170992653_10

Streets To Ourselves is a solo project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Peachy. This is debut full length record and it offers 10 songs. Well, to get away from all the more noisy and more harsher music that is usually the case in this zine, this record offers more kind and milder, more emotional side of punk rock bordering with pop punk.

I am talking about gentle melodies, topped with Daniel´s beautiful, almost ethereal voice, lyrics and music that pick up your torn darkened soul and take you to some other place and time, where there is no pain, no stress, no rush, only beauty and inner satisfaction. Music is mid tempo pop punk rock but there are also some beautiful atmospheric acoustic parts like in one of my favorites called Black Spring with that piano and sad melancholic guitar melody. Also, Space Coyote and Flair For The Dramatic are my favorites and highlights on this record. If you love melancholy in music, punk rock with heart and soul and intensity, yet soothing and somehow relaxing, check this beautiful record out.

(review) The Tomb Tones-Pumpkin Guts

a2625485872_10

Boy I am glad that I am a part of horror scene and horror punk rock world. When I discover bands like this, whole world is a bit nicer for a moment. The Tomb Tones are hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. This record contains 7 beautiful songs, of a bit raw and retro, yet energetic horror punk the way it should be done. The way  I love it most.

The songs like Party of Horror Beach and Monster Movie are straightforward horror punk with nice melodies, awesome vocals and almost raw garage punk feel and vibe in the song structures. One of my favorites, My Girlfriend´s a Zombie is a half ballad inspired a bit with doo wop and rockabilly/psychobilly and having a sweet, sweet chorus. Next one, Devil´s Train of Death is also a bit psychobilly influenced bordering with classic rock riffs. Dracula´s Brother is one of the best songs on the record having almost wicked horror road movie vibe while listening, like a bit Americana touch in the song. Ghost Story is for me the song of the record, so gentle, a bit country influenced at the start, with beautiful lyrics about death and afterlife, being eternal in love. Sick Sense is maybe the most classic rock song having doo wop fifties influenced bridge and evolving into classic rock chorus. In all, superb little record, versatile and strong, like horror scene itself.
