Besides New York hardcore family, there is also thriving punk scene beneath the ground. Vermillion are hailing from Long Island, NY and this is their brand new EP. This one contains five songs. Music of Vermillion is raw sounding punk rock with lots of street punk influences, also riot grrrl especially in singer’s voice which is phenomenal. Her voice can shout, scream, sing melodic clean lines and change in a second. ‘Needle Up My’ is raw punk with almost grungy feel and superb clean anthemic chorus made for singing along. ‘Vocal Retake’ is more straight forward pure punk song with great main vocal line melody and also dual backing vocal harmony making it with its energy and melody one of my favorites on this one. It also has double bass drumming if I hear it right and reminded me a bit of Bad Cop/Bad Cop in some parts. ‘Send You To Hell’ is short but sweet outburst of hardcore punk anger and speed, topped with screaming vocals. ‘Vermillion’ is more slower, ballad with great chorus ‘I want you dead’ just made for singing along and having that melody to make goosebumps on your skin. ‘Halloween’ has that raw hardcore punk speed back again reminding us that this band is capable for hardcore energy along with gentle melodies. Good one.
The Obliteroids are hailing from Anderson, South Carolina. This is their new release containing 8 songs of punk rock, kind of mixture between street punk, especially in vocals and rawer guitar work, horror punk and yes, you read it right, synth punk. This is not your typical horror punk clone band, it is quite original in some song rhythm and change from almost scifi movie soundtrack to punk rock. The lyrics deal with serial killers, being yourself in awesome allegory Creature, phantoms, great songs like The Ballad of Cindy and Fred, my personal favorite The Wax Phantom or Slasher Meets Werewolf. I love the use of piano intros some samples and clever use of synths to add to the aggression where needed, but also to add some melody and melancholy where needed making me remember why I love horror punk so much in first place. This one is for name your price on Bandcamp, so go listen and show some love. I am sure the guys in the band will appreciate it.
