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…

3dBs Down – Get Your Retaliation In First LP (Engineer Records)
I was not familiar with this band until David of Engineer Records advised me to take a couple of listens of their latest recordings. He sent me the material, but due to the nature of my work, I settled this material aside until I complete previous submissions for the blog. At some points, their logo…

The Raging Nathans – Waste My Heart LP (Rad Girlfriend Records)
The Raging Nathans came a long way from a local punk rock band to a critically acclaimed worldwide known act, and there’s a good reason for that. Since their beginnings, the musicians involved in this outstanding band invested blood, sweat, and tears into every single recording they ever released. Their effort is hearable on each…

Black Sheep – Motion Pictures LP (Bearded Punk Records)
It’s a shame when some excellent record passes unnoticed, and there’s no wondering why this is happening since tons of punk rock recordings are popping up every day. Sometimes some lousy records receive more exposure than other releases, and gems are losing a well-deserved spotlight. Therefore, I decided to dig deeper into Bearded Punk Records…

Steele Justice – NeonLight LP (Bearded Punk Records)
Ever stumbled upon an album so good that you suddenly realize it deserves a proper review, even if that album was released four years ago? Well, I do all the time, and NeonLight by Steele Justice is one of those albums that undoubtfully sounds like it was released yesterday. I thought it would be great…

Captain Kaiser – The Drovers Inn LP (Bearded Punk Records / White Russian Records)
Some record labels became quite prolific by putting out releases almost regularly, without losing the consistency and quality. Exceptional melodic punk rock, skate punk, pop-punk records are popping out on the weekly basis, and sometimes I am barely keeping track of all of them. Of course, this is more than a positive thing, considering the…

Sidewalk Surfers – Growing Up Is A Mess CD (Barhill Records / Cargo Records)
Sidewalk Surfers made a name for themselves in such a short period. This German skatepunk group from Saarbrücken continuously evolves with time and delivers premium punk rock music with each forthcoming release. Perhaps their discography counts only a couple of recordings, but all of these recordings are bursting with quality. Since their formation, the group…

The Decline / Sic Waiting – Year Of The Crow / Stay Awake 7″ (Various Labels)
Here’s another terrific split release by two exceptional punk rock groups who’s been active for years. On one side, we have The Decline, a well-known Australian skate punk outlet, while on the other side, we have Sic Waiting, a melodic punk rock group from the United States. The Decline were prolific since their beginnings by…

Harker – No Discordance LP (Various Labels)
Harker is a British punk rock gem, cleverly hidden on the underground scene. At least, that’s my impression when I stumbled upon their music for the first time. There’s something about their sound that forces me to spin their tunes over and over again. This terrific quartet delivers premium punk rock since 2014, and each…

Blowfuse – Daily Ritual LP (Various Labels)
Today, I would like to talk a little bit more about Daily Ritual by Blowfuse. For those who might not know, Blowfuse is an insanely good Spanish punk rock group emanating from Barcelona. The group started its musical endeavors as Godfarts but changed its name into Blowfuse sometime in 2013, with the appearance of their…

PKEW PKEW PKEW – + One LP (Bearded Punk Records)
PKEW PKEW PKEW is a Canadian skatepunk quartet based in Toronto, Ontario. The group is active for nearly a decade, but it was not until 2012 when they released their first official 7” recording named Red Ass. One year later, PKEW PKEW PKEW published what would become their debut album called Glory Days. However, their…

Eat Defeat – I Think We’ll Be OK LP (Bearded Punk Records)
It’s never too late to discuss good punk rock records, even if they were released a couple of years or decades ago. I mean, we all eventually started the convo with our friends and acquaintances about records we dearly love and admire. It’s one of those themes that could go in every possible direction and…
