Salt Lake City, UT punks Problem Daughter have released a brand new song and music video titled “Self Amusing Smile”, the first track is off their forthcoming album “Grow Up Trash” due out March 22nd on Wiretap Records (North America) and Bearded Punk Records (EU).

Check out the video and single, which is available today (Jan 25th) on all digital streaming sites. Problem Daughter last released their debut full length “Fits Of Disorganized Boredom” in 2016 via Dying Scene Records.

Started by high school friends in 2008, Problem Daughter plays some of the best blue collar, punk-rock grit and misery juxtaposed with catpop-punkpunk melodies you’ll ever hear.

Named as the state of Utah’s representative on Kerrang’s ‘United States of Punk’, the best punk bands from every US state. Not regulated to a mere two chords and screaming, the quartet take everything great about punk and pack it into songs varied in structure and melodies that never grow redundant. Their music smells like a sweaty basement show, tastes like cheap beer on a lamp-lit porch and feels like not wanting to go home at the end of the night.

Track available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0rHmdXPEpHRo4EQaBYx8k1

(record review)AUDIO KARATE-e.p.(Wiretap Records)

The first Audio Karate new music in 14 years is out now via Wiretap Records! I listened to this new e.p. and reviewed it for this zine.

The record contains two songs from a “lost” recording session that they did after the release of 2004’s Lady Melody. Now, while they are appearing playing live on tour with Descendants in the USA, these beloved SoCali punkrockers treated us with this record.

Bounce is an uptempo emotional punkrock song that takes us back as a kind of time machine to the time that band recorded it, but the melody, riffs and the excellent vocal lines are equally important today and I can safely say that this song survived the test of time and it is just awesome. The second song called Landing is a bit slower, more of alternative/ indie ballad styled punkrock ballad, listening to this song takes me back on the warm sea shore on a warm night under starred sky. This is a great e.p. Go get your copy!

7,5/10

Atlanta rock n’ roll/punk outfit Aree and the Pure Heart has released a new song titled Gasoline Heart.

Aree tells Rock Cellar Magazine, “Gasoline Heart deals with the life changing experience of having my daughter undergo open heart surgery at 4 months old. Her birth awakened in me a sensation of life that just begged for more. The grief and heartbreak of dealing with her health, coupled with her vibrant recovery has inspired me every day of my life. The song reflects these feelings of suffering through the worst and emerging boldly to bleed life dry for every bit of goodness it has to offer.”

Gasoline Heart will appear on the band’s upcoming debut full-length, which will be released via Wiretap Records.

Aree’s debut EP “Heartstrings” was released in September 2015 and has garnered plenty of attention, leading to a recent opening slot for Descendents.
