Uphill Struggle are from Denmark and this is their new record. Copenhagen based band brings 6 songs of fast and melodic skatepunk. There is nothing really new or revolutionary here. But, there is one big thing. The music of this band reminds a lot of 90-ies skatepunk and all those old school Fat and Epitaph releases and that brought smile upon my face because we all love those records and grew up listening to them. So, here is not complication, no bullshit, just plain and simple old school melodic skatepunk with good vocals, great melodies and harmonies and choruses that make you hum and sing along while listening to the record. This is only six songs record, so I am eager to hear full length and maybe catch somewhere these guys play live. Recommended songs: Primary Psychopath, By Myself.
