Victory Kid – Discernation LP (SBÄM Records)
We’re all witnessing a pop-punk revival, and cool new bands are popping from every part of the globe. Luckily, most of these new bands are sounding incredibly good, and not only do they’re sound good, but they’re offering some new moves rarely seen/heard before. With all these revivals popping out in recent years, the key…

Less Than Jake / Kill Lincoln – Wavebreaker #1 (Bad Time Records)
I am totally into the music of both groups for months (been listening to Less Than Jake for twenty years or so), but somehow I missed the news about their recent split release. It seems I somehow managed to put this information under the rug for no particular reason because I can’t recall seeing the…

No Breakfast Goodbye / Ink Bomb – Split CD (Horn & Hoof Records / Concrete Head Records / Dental Records)
Today, I would like to introduce two outstanding bands that recently released a highly anticipated split album on both vinyl and compact disc. It’s a split release between No Breakfast Goodbye and Ink Bomb, two melodic punk rock bands emanating from the Netherlands. At first, I wasn’t familiar with No Breakfast Goodbye, but luckily this…

Card Box Colony – S/T 7″
There are several subgenres of punk rock that are continuously fighting for dominance on the underground scene. Most of these subgenres are having their ups, downs, but somehow they always receive a well-deserved revival. However, it seems pop-punk has always been on the top, claiming all the glory, while the other subgenres were somewhere in…

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…

Authority Zero – Ollie Ollie Oxen Free LP
This band doesn’t need any introduction. Authority Zero roams the melodic punk rock scene for decades, and their music ages like a fine wine. Each following album offers even more improvements, surprises, potential punk rock hits, and they’re certainly one of those bands that are not allowing any mistakes during the recording process. Their impressive…

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…

Venturas – Your Weaker Self 12″ EP
Today, I would like to introduce a tremendous German skate punk band that emanates from Wermelskirchen. Venturas are roaming the skate punk scene since 2004, and so far, they’ve released a couple of recordings, such as a debut full-length material named Walk Tall and Draw The Blinds EP. The group strictly follows a DIY ethos…

Belvedere – Hindsight Is The Sixth Sense LP (Thousand Islands Records / Lockjaw Records)
I awaited this album with anticipation. I’ve been a Belvedere fan for more than two decades, and I felt the same happiness about this material as I felt with their previous recordings. Hindsight Is The Sixth Sense is their highly anticipated sixth full-length album, announced a couple of months ahead of its release date. The…

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…

Pulley – Different Strings 10″ EP (SBÄM Records)
It’s been a while since we heard any new material from Pulley, except for a couple of reissues that popped up on several record labels. The chances you’re into skate punk and never heard of this legendary band are nearly impossible. Pulley has been the epitome of skate punk music since its inception in 1994.…

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…
