Out in Style are Brasilian/Canadian melodic hardcore punk band and this is their second full length album that recently came out.
What do we get here? We have twelve songs of superb emotional driven melodic hardcore punk, somehow melancholic when listening, and it suits me just fine that way. Kinda sad vibe in the song structures, with some acoustic more atmospheric parts like for example awesome When Night Falls Fast at the beginning of the song, evolving into my personal favorite on the record. The lyrics are more personal and I can totally relate to them. The vocals are great, backing vocal harmonies too, and it is important for such bands to have great vocal lines added to already melodic guitar work. Other songs that I recommend as favorites are Time Is Passing By, Broken Inside and Today Is The Past. Superb stuff if you are into melodic, emotional hardcore punk. 9/10
Sun-0-Bathers are in no way strangers to Kraykulla webzine, we already featured them on the pages of this zine, with a review and a featured single, so we know what to expect when their new record comes out and that is fantastic melodic skatepunk from Holland, that is just what we got with Floater, their new record out with Morning Wood Records.
This new record contains 7 songs of beautiful, mainly fast paced skatepunk with superb guitar riff melodies, awesome vocals and just as fantastic backing vocal harmonies which I love so much when listening to this music. Concerning the songs, they are even better than the last release, catchy and energetic, with Locals Only and Huntington Beach Resort, also Done With You being my personal favorites. If you are into nice and energetic melodic punk music, go get this one.
I still remember the fantastic show Much The Same provided at last years Punk Rock Holiday headlining Thursday edition at Beach stage. I still remember the goosebumps it gave me to listen old hits and also fantastic new songs from the comeback album. Now, thanks to good people at Lockjaw Records I am listening to remixed and remastered re-issue of the Much The Same classic Quitters Never Win.
If you are already a fan of this band, you will only love this one more. If you did not listen to them until yet, this is the perfect opportunity to grab this one and enjoy excellent melodic punkrock, full of emotions, full of energy and heartfelt lyrics to which any of us can relate to. Many people compare Much The Same to No Use For A Name, so I love them even more, because I can hear that NUFAN warm and sad vibe in their music, but with originality and drive and I am sure Tony would love them. My personal favorites here are Hits Home, One Of A Kind, Father & Son. Go get this one!
