What’s first coming up to your mind when it comes to ska music? There are plenty of groups out there, right? Well, you’re not far from the truth, but there are plenty of bands out there who’re nurturing such a sophisticated sound that goes way beyond some ska standards. Coolidge is one of those groups…

Broken Links are making a proper comeback with their highly anticipated brand new material. For those who somehow missed this interesting band, Broken Links are an English trio based in Southampton, which fuses various elements to achieve the desired sound. Since their formation, the trio released an impressive amount of recordings such as Resisting Movement…

The Canarys – Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
The Canarys are a powerful duo emanating from New Orleans that took an interesting route while recording the debut album. These individuals decided to write a conceptual album about human connections, but the circumstances allowed these musicians to spend only a day in the studio before New Orleans shut down for Covid. Therefore, The Canarys…

Dealing With Damage – Ask More Questions LP (Little Rocket Records / Rad Girlfriend Records / Carabrecol Records)
Dealing With Damage is an English melodic punk rock quartet emanating from London.

Cojones – Resonate LP (PDV Records)
It’s been a while since we had a band like this on our pages. I felt like this blog lacks some proper desert rock reviews, so now it’s more than adequate time to introduce them to our readers. Perhaps this album was released five years ago, but it seems like the music of Cojones is…

The Carolyn – This Will Begin To Make Things Right LP (59 X Records)
For some weird reason, I always thought this blog is lacking more reviews about bands like these. There’s something about the mixture of alternative rock, melodic punk rock, and pop-punk that appeals to the ears of nearly every admirer of punk rock music. The sound is maybe subtler and mellower than regular melodic punk rock,…

INTERCONTINEN7AL features 22 musicians who collaborated using the BandLab application to deliver a full-length recording consisting of twelve profoundly detailed compositions.

Back Alley Sound – I Wanted To Be
I guess this the first time we’re having a group like this on our pages, as far I can remember. I wrote tons of reviews for hip-hop recordings, but this one unquestionably stands out from what I experienced since I started running this blog. Back Alley Sound is a relatively new group by Shark Parker,…

Decent Criminal – Bliss LP (Bearded Punk Records / Wiretap Records)
Here’s another outstanding record from Bearded Punk Records archives and probably the most unusual one in their catalog. Being known for its melodic punk rock/skate punk/pop-punk aesthetics, this prolific Belgian record label made quite an experiment with this album but nailed it once again. Perhaps the Bliss LP by Decent Criminal strays from the label’s…

ALÉ – Omnipresent Pt. 1
There’s a lot of interesting groups and artists that are shapeshifting particular musical forms or exploring even further until their reach desired sound. However, there’s a small percentage of those outlets who dare to simultaneously transform several genres at once and remain harmonious in their experimentations. Whoever dared to try knows that’s not an easy…
