From the depths Of Portland Maine this group of young energetic youngsters show so much promise of being an amazing upcoming band.  With an average age of 19 these guys have a long road a head of them and their music.

Summer with you

Release date: May 7th 2007


 


I will be the first to admit that I have been dreading reviewing this album for the last month.  I assumed it would be a waste of time to review.  But I finally decided it was time to listen to the CD at least (I listen to everything that’s sent to me) and threw it on the stereo.


 


Fucking awesome!  I was not expecting what I heard one bit.  This album blew away all my expectations I had of this album


 


This album has a great mixture of just straight hard rocking to traditional 3rd wave ska (with out the horns). And its done really well!


 


 


And now were even is a 4 piece band from Kingston London. At the time of this review the band is preparing a sure to be amazing tour with big D and the kids table, another up and coming rocking ska band.


 


Really this guys are worth checking out, if your into the ska sound with out all the ska these guys will blow you apart.

The Anthems

Monday, May 7th, 2007

urbn Posted:

 


The anthems are a very young band (member wise and bands age) but they have progressed very far in their 2 years. With only their self titled 4 song demo/release these guys still seem to be trying to find their sound.  Their band has a very clean punk/rock sound with a sort of surf rock/60’s rock which dosen’t sound too bad, it just seems like they haven’t decided on which sound they will continue with over the next few years.


 


It will be interesting to see what happens with these orange county youngsters.  There is the possibility of some very great music coming out of these talented rockers, but its just too hard to decide the on this 4 song release.


 


 


 


Track listing



  1. Against the tide

  2. We told you so

  3. Disconnected

  4. Gestern

 

Whatever it takes

My turn to win has been around since 2004.  Coming from South Jersey / Philadelphia the band started out as a few friends getting together and after time forming the band.


 


Now days the band plays shows with the likes of Have heart, h20, Kill your idols, district 9 and good clean fun.  Their style of hardcore is very uplifting, with a combination of old school and new school hardcore, while still keeping the heard hiting, fast when it needs to be, and slow when they want it to be positive hardcore.


 


These guys are great,  too many of the hardcore bands coming out these days  are on the same level as gangs recruiting for some bullshit cause.  But not these guys!  These guys are energetic and wild, with a no nonsense feel.


 


Members:


Dave – vocals


Jess – Guitar


Booey – Drums


Justin – Bass


 


Track listing:



  1. Inside is what counts

  2. Whatever it takes

  3. Deadweight

Sometimes poppy, sometimes aggressive, aggro/political punk rock.  Many of the songs by In liars we trust have a very traditional punk sound with pissed off female vocals.


 


With pissed off intelligent and very stimulating lyrics this bands sound very fresh from many of the political punk bands I have heard coming out lately.


 


 


 


Track listing



  1. What gives…

  2. For the people

  3. Change it!

  4. You the man

  5. In the name of peace

  6. Deny at all cost

  7. Head on the line

  8. Get it

  9. Catch me

  10. Everybody comes around

 Bludwulf brings together a great mix of 80’s style metal, and modern day crustie punk rock.  With fast and distorted lyrics, and out of control guitar solos this band will leave you bleeding and bruised and waiting for another fix.  This band have a great sound rivaling Iron maiden Killers with a great punk rock/ Horror rock twist.


 


Like most bands on Charged records (Jake of the casualities) they carry the same crustie and hard hitting sound like many of the bands on this label.

This is the first release of I am not I am on Tenfold Records.  The band over the years has changed their style and lineup since the bands creation in 2002 as well as the band lineup.


 


With heavy and hard hitting lyrics and style this band will find a spot in any fan of experimental hardcore.


 


Lyrically and musically this band is very talented with much of the lyrics carrying  a “Christian inspired message”.

Saboteur The mockingbird nightmare

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Release date April 24th 2007


 


www.saboteurmusic.com


www.themockingbirdnightmare.com


www.myspace.com/redlightgreenlight123


 


Track listing:


Saboteur



  1. This is a bike crime

  2. Bitchin’ into oblivion

  3. The working class will kick your ass

 


The mockingbird nightmare



  1. You can keep all the prizes and give them to charity, I just want to be on television

  2. Show me all the blueprints

  3. Eleven eleven

 


Red light green light



  1. Dance party @ ferro Monte

  2. Cliché collage whit, More or less

  3. Stright on till normal

  4. “B” is for breakdown

 


 


This is a 3 band split with Saboteur (dallas texas) The Mockingbird Nightmare (Kent, England) and Red light Green light (New Jersey). Each band has a unique style but the album really does flow well between each bands song sets on the album.


 


Saboteur comes off as very post-punk with many of the songs having a great melody and borderline anthem style songs.


 


The mocking nightmare, a very new band (this being their first released songs) are a technically capable band with sharp and to the point lyrics.


 


Red light green light are a very technical band with many of the songs coming off as aggressive and chaotic.  Red light green light is really what I enjoyed the most on this album.  With distorted lyrics, synthesized parts added to at the right moments and very catchy foot tapping songs.
