Stay Awake – Portraits EP
Nothing matches good melodic punk rock music. There’s something about this particular genre that keeps me returning to it over and over again. The scene is getting stronger every day, with top-notch bands popping out from every possible corner of the globe. Stay Awake is another great skate punk band I had a chance to…

Talk Show Host – Mid-Century Modern LP (Wiretap Records / Disconnect Disconnect Records)
Today, I would like to talk about the group that caught my ear as soon as I stumbled upon their music. Talk Show Host is a new name to me, but the group operates for years. They released series of singles and extended plays since 2016, such as Disunion Tour EP, Perfectly Competent EP, a…

Deep End – Isolated Actions 7″ (Various Labels)
Whoa! Nothing matches some proper throwback to nineties skatepunk music. It reminds me of the good old days when the music was sincere, dynamic, entertaining, and the times were more fun than nowadays. Deep End is a relatively new group that explores the golden nineties skate punk era, but with a sophisticated touch of modern…

Grimm Winter – Grimm Winter
For some weird reason, I pushed aside pop-punk music in the past couple of weeks. It’s not that I got bored by the pop-punk sound, but it seems to me that the pop-punk scene has been quiet for a while. I am positively sure there a lot of brand new recordings out there, but maybe…

Krang – Make Arcade Great Again LP (SBÄM Records / Sound Speed Records)
I must admit I fell in love with this artwork as soon as the band has announced a brand new release. There’s something post-apocalyptical, satyrical, and meaningful about it. As soon as you grab this vinyl, you’ll realize that Krang glorifies the Planet Of The Apes franchise, mocks Trump’s administration, and emits a meaningful message…

Clayton – Escape CD (Disillusioned Records)
I always loved the French punk rock scene. There’s something more to it than music. It always seemed to me that the French bands are taking everything on an entirely new level. Don’t get me wrong, French bands sound the same as bands from any other country, but there is always something more in their…

The Bloodstrings – A Part 10″ EP (SBÄM Records)
The Bloodstrings are back with another marvelous recording, simplistically named A Part. For those who’re not familiar with this German group, The Bloodstrings are heavily inspired by punkabilly and psychobilly sound, but unlike their previous recordings, A Part involves some other subgenres of punk rock as well. Previously, the group released a couple of full-lengths,…

Coolidge – Condition Transmission
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…

Perhaps they started four years ago, but this band consists of experienced musicians who previously played in bands such as K-Line, Jerrybuilt, Done Lying Down, Sink, Bad Dress Sense, Chocolate, Down Love, Spandex Nappy Rash, plus many more. If you listened to…

Chaser – Dreamers CD (Various Labels)
Chaser are back with another outstanding full-length recording. After critically acclaimed Look Alive 7″, these guys took a short break to record highly-anticipated material for their latest effort named Dreamers. Still, the group released a couple of singles prior to the release date, such as 2020, New Direction, and Dreamers, which served as an appropriate…
