The album weighs in at just over 26 minutes. Not one of them is wasted. Attitude is Everything. Well, maybe. But it’s this reviewer’s opinion that the punk aesthetic certainly doesn’t suffer from being in the hands of musicians as thoughtful and skilled as these.
Punk Rock
Impressive from the outset as quick-finger riffs meet with the heavy tumble of live drums and a clear level of nostalgic intensity – Serious Matters ignite a fresh take on post-hardcore that openly connects.
The whole thing just oozes anthem-like quality, begs for audience participation, and keeps you interested and involved throughout.
Explosive rock hooks, anthem-like structures and fearless indie purity – Patrick Lew Band keep their sound eclectic yet passionate throughout an incredibly versatile collection of originals.
Wholly embracing the art of punk that saw participants rebel against the systems and authorities in place – Ember Mikayla takes on the state of contemporary times with this nostalgic yet conceptually insightful project.
A rightfully energetic performance, and an essentially addictive tune that leaves its mark with ease throughout a sub-three-minute explosive and colourful journey.
We’ve all shared these ups and downs, seen the crazy, been the crazy – we may as well embrace the music as one.
Featuring the classic punk-rock energy of any Trey Wonder single – fast-paced power chords and raw drum work – the release also offers up a crisp and compelling series of visuals that help further draw in the audience
Really unique writing, a style that feels nostalgic alongside a certain air of newness that’s incredibly commendable & rare these days. Well worth escaping into at volume this season.
What a rock sound to wake up to. CatEaters reignite the raw edge, passion and power of punk rock from the nineties era, with an album of originals that introduce their recognisable sound and songwriting in a powerful way.
Offering up a Brit-pop-inspired, punk-rock vocal lead, distant and soaked in reverb, The Upstairs Room reignites the sound of yesteryear, and presents listeners with a likably raw, authentic live sound.
Leading with perhaps his most infectious arrangment yet, an ever-nostalgic Trey Wonder re-injects his high-octane drum-work and engaging power-chords into a song that proves an easily timeless anthem.
