Ricochet is the first single off of melodic punkrock group Fine Gents’ debut album Present. The music and lyrics capture the feeling of a panic attack that comes out of nowhere, striking terror in the heart and fear in the mind for no discernible reason. The vibe pays tribute to skatepunk anthems from classic bands such as Pennywise, Good Riddance, and No Use For a Name. The song was self-produced and mixed, with some assistance from producer Ryan Greene (NOFX, Lagwagon).ABOUT THE BAND: Fine Gents are a new melodic punkrock band formed by members of SICK SHIFT and SHELTER!
Australski heroji Frenzal Rhomb su se vratili novim albumom na Fatu. Album sadrži devetnaest pjesama i čini se na prvi pogled puno stvari za jedan album, no kratke su i vrijeme brzo prolazi kada se čovjek zabavlja kako se veli. Frenzal Rhomb sviraju odličan miks nineties melodic hardcore skatepunka i Ramonescorea, dakle, brzo, energično, poletno i melodično. Upravo su te melodije toliko slatke i odlično napravljene, glavni vokal i back vokalne harmonije toliko se odlično uklapaju u sliku, a stvari se brzinom jedna za drugom redaju tako da si misliš, uh ova mi je najbolja na albumu, kad se pojavi još jedna koja ti postane favorit, pa još jedna, pa još jedna…Meni su nekako najbolje i najdraže ‘The Wreckage’, ‘I Think My Neighbuor Is Planning To Kill Me’, te ‘Deathbed Darren’. Tekstovi su uglavnom zajebantski uz ponešto ozbiljnih, kao što se može zaključiti iz naziva pjesama. Uglavnom, ovo je ziher kandidat za jedan od albuma godine u melodic hardcore punk vodama. Zakon album!
The Streetplants are from Brunswick, Germany and this release contains five songs. This one is a crossbreed between Deutschpunk or German pop punk mixed with some grungy feel in some songs, but also melodic punk/skate punk thrown in for good measure. This is pretty raw recording being a demo of maybe even rehearsal studio recording. But, this is DIY and who cares about recording if the music is alright and this is more than alright. Lyrics are in German, this is such good language for punk rock and as I learned it in school decades ago and speak German, there are more personal themes and the music reminds me a lot of old Yugoslav punk band KBO!, their slower songs, because here prevails more mid tempo to some up tempo punk rock, this is not your ultra fast melodic hardcore punk if you thought about that, but this one has great guitar melody main lines, good vocals who could be a little more energetic in some songs and in all, has that punk energy that we all love so much. I am looking forward to future releases from this band.
