(record review)De Lyckliga Kompisarna-Pengar Har Inga Ögon

Sweden has been the place with many awesome melodic punk bands all throughout 90-ies when I was a kid. Some of the bands reached legendary status and respect in the scene like No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers for example. This time we reviewed the record by De Lyckliga Kompisarna.

The record contains 12 songs with all of the lyrics being in Swedish, so I can˙t understand a word what they are singing about. The music is punkrock, but it gets a bit weird sometimes like in Ostronskal, mixture of ska and punk with some atonal even stoner melodies. There are some folkish/polka songs like Olika kulturklubbar that are for sure fun to dance to and listen, maybe live also fun as hell. Don˙t get me wrong, there are awesome straight forward punkrock songs on this record like Johanna for example. This record has some great moments, besides the weird ones, but that versatility makes this record good.

After months of hard work and first gigs (as openers for bands such as Silverstein), French metalcore/rock newcomers Dizorder are proud to unveiled their first EP called MOON PHASES officially out now for CD & digital on Bandcamp and the main legal platforms (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer…).

In addition to the official re-release announcement, the band also shared the full effort for FREE streaming on BC.

Born from Val-d’Oise, Dizorder recently won 2 days of training at Le Forum de Vauréal to get prepared for any gig and has been elected by the audience of the open mic of La Ruche 2018.

Driven by the brutal screams of their female singer, the band offers an alternative metal at the crossroads between Flyleaf, Deftones, Northlane and frees themselves from more lyrical spheres.

(news)LIKE TORCHES SIGN WITH VICTORY RECORDS Loves And Losses, New Album Coming This Year, Produced by Ryan Key of Yellowcard ‘Silver Lines’ New Track Released Today

thumbnail_image002

With a new label home of Victory Records, Stockholm rock quintet LIKE TORCHES have separated themselves from Sweden’s music scene since their debut, 2013’s Keep Your Head High. Burning like their namesake, these five emotionally charged individuals are set to release Loves And Losses, later this fall. The proof is in the first single released, ‘Silver Lines.’

Preview The New Track ‘Silver Lines.’

“We have never met a label as enthusiastic and excited about LIKE TORCHES as Victory, so we are all intrigued to see what we can accomplish together,” explains vocalist Jonathan Karn. “It is an honor to be working with a label that has released so many of the legendary records we grew up listening to.”

Yellowcard vocalist Ryan Key took lead as producer as the Swedish outfit packed up and took to the streets of Nashville to create their upcoming album Loves And Losses. Key interjects, “It’s hard to explain the excitement hearing your work completed like this, so proud of these dudes and these songs.” On the recording of the band’s first material in over two years, Karn explains, “We wanted to combat our normal surroundings, and the culture of ‘Music City’ helped us be more creative and filled us with so much inspiration so we could find our perfect sound. We literally explored new territories and that allowed us to feel the highs and lows of being in a band, hence the name Loves And Losses.”

Echoing that sentiment on the new track ‘Silver Lines,’ Karn admits, “Sometimes you feel like everything around you is falling apart. Nothing goes the way you planned, and you’re doing everything you can to find some kind of light in the end of the tunnel. It’s like the chorus reads, ‘Somewhere high in a golden sky, memories, broken dreams, burning in the light.’ Somewhere out there, there’s an answer. You just have to find it.”

LIKE TORCHES, rounded out by second vocalist and guitarist Daniel Karn, guitarist Erik Thyr, bassist Zakarias Faleij and drummer Jimmy Brunkvist, have shared their music globally with such artists as Taking Back Sunday, Memphis May Fire, Hit The Lights and many others across Europe, Japan, US and Australia, and will keep their fire burning throughout 2018. Karn promises fans, “To everyone that has supported us through this journey: We took our time on this one. We wanted to make it right. And we did. The record came out sounding just the way we hoped and dreamed it would. Thank you so much for the patience and see you on the road soon!”
