(review) Pizzatramp/Incisions-Do You Know Who You Look Like(TNSrecords)

cover

Pizzatramp were already featured on the pages of this zine. Their side features two fast thrash punk songs not unlike their record we reviewed here a while ago. If you like your hardcore punk fast, gritty and thrashy with funny lyrics haha this is the right band forya. Incisions I heard for the first time and they are from Manchester and play a bit more crusty version of hardcore punk with some classic UKHC influences, metal and also d-beat carnage. Their two songs are fantastic. This is a nice little release for all you fans of fast diy hardcore punk.

(record review)Wolfrik-Skeleton City(Lockjaw/Thousand Islands Records)

Canadian whirlwind of energy named Wolfrik have released their debut e.p. called Skeleton City with Lockjaw Records(EU) and Thousand Islands Records(Canada).

a53f3124-963b-4432-a70f-6d264f394d51

Hailing from Edmonton area, Canada, these guys took the scene by storm delivering a blast bomb with their material mixing skatepunk and thrash metal delivering one soundscape that is a whirlwind of melody, energy, guitar driven madness and positivity. This e.p. contains 5 songs of mainly blistering fast, guitar shredding songs with screaming, yet fine melodic vocals that are fitting just nicely into the song structures. For me Predator and the title track are somehow the songs that stand out more above the rest of the material on this record, but don´get me wrong, the whole e.p. is just perfect if you love your skatepunk delivered with metalic technical precision, smart solutions in the songs, great melody and force drive. The band is on European tour this spring, so be sure to catch them somewhere live because I can only imagine how this might sound live, I get goosebumps on my skin immediately.
