The long wait is over! Los Angeles based ska melodic punks The Interrupters have their third full length album out on mighty HellcatEpitaph! I listened to the album and reviewed it for this webzine.

The album contains 12 songs of melodic punk ska like we are used to listen by this awesome band. Aimee Interrupter and Bivona brothers sound tight and better than ever. Let us browse through some songs that are for me somehow the highlights of this album. “Title Holder”, the single released prior to the album is a catchy anthem to wake you up and give you strength to fight on. “She´s Kerosene” puts up front Aimee´s top vocals, with melodic and singalong chorus which made me dancing all through my room. “Leap of Faith” more of a reggae song about trust and politics, they just don´t come together, do they? “Got Each Other” featuring Rancid as guests is one of the best songs on this album, anthem of friendship, punk, scene and I love it. “Broken World” is also maybe the most awesome song on the record, anthem with the best chorus this band wrote until now. “Gave You Everything” was also released as single, love song or anti love song, depend the way you see it, catchy and memorable tune. “Rumors and Gossip” is a total hymn, dance lift up, dealing with the disease we all know in this scene. The album ends with “Room With a View” the punkrock emotional song about the loss of the loved person we all experienced at least once. This is a great album!

Skassapunka are now ten years old. Formed in Lainate, near Milan, Italy, they quickly evolved into one of the best European ska punkrock acts. This is their brand new fourth album that came out on mighty KobRecords Italia and I listened and reviewed it for this webzine.

The album contains 11 songs just made to make your day and put you back up on your feet and make you dancing. The music is a mixture of melodic punk and ska with some core influences. Excellent sing along anthemic choruses, fast ska punk rythm songs for jumping and dancing and a nice lyrical stand. These guys sing against fascism, homophobia, xenophobia, imperialist tendencies…so they have their hearts and souls in the right places. The lyrics are in Italian mostly and I once already stated how I love Italian language in punk, especially melodic punk music, because it is such beautiful melodic langauge that fits nicely in melodic punkrock. So, if you love ska melodic punkrock and love to dance, sing and shout out to the loud punkrock this is the record just made for you! Top songs for me:”Entusiasmo y Venceremos” and “Back to the Past”, also “Crazy Town”.
