Monsters Of Your Mind are from Surrey, UK and they are releasing their debut e.p. on Halloween. This e.p contains 5 songs and they are all different as horror punk scene is, varied and with diverse influences in the song structures. Dolly is for me one of the most interesting songs on the record, being almost mixture of punk rock but done in a synth pop way and very eerie song indeed topped with superb vocals. Giant Slugs From Outa Space continues in a similar direction, but it is more of a weird song, vocals sounding almost rapping in some parts of the song mixed with post punk and great allegoric lyrics with nice chorus. Killing Machine is old school punk song, of almost street punk oi sound. My other personal favorite besides Dolly is Vaporized, horror punk songs just made for going nuts in the club in front of the stage. Zombie Voodoo is a song which is very unusual, being a capella for starters then evolving into reggae post punk with horror lyrics. Interesting e.p. I can´t wait for the full length to arrive one day.
Instead of releasing it on cd or vinyl they took a different path. The e.p. comes with your Beech tree that can be planted to help local and global environment. Concerning the four songs on this record, this is still the style of sad, emotional punkrock these guys call regret punk. As I am listening to this one on Sunday morning having a coffee, I love how this sounds, even better than the last material. My favorite is Dynasty, Die With Me, but also Greek Wood. All songs are excellent, last being acoustic Yuzi. This one is a keeper, so go grab it while you still can.
Launch Control are coming from UK, Reading to be more exact and this is their brand new e.p. containing five songs. The music of this band could be categorized as melodic punkrock with some pop punk influences, but with sociopolitical lyrics and sensitivity, bringing back to punkrock something incredibly missed in the last couple of years. These five songs are really fine fitting perfectly to the mood of the e.p. The themes are bigotry(Zombigots/Cult of Ignorance), religion(Marketing for Martyrs-my favorite on this record), economy and internet(Attention Economy-also my favorite song on the record) to political greed(Paper Tiger), the songs are cleverly written and I love how the smart use of the synth in some songs epmhasizes the overall almost etherial yet harsh vibe with nice vocals adding to the momentum. This is a real nice little e.p. and I can`t wait for the full length to arrive.
