This is the second EP of this Swedish band. They play pop punk the way it used to sound on Lookout! Records in the early 00s, but this 7" is out on Monster Zero Records (based in Austria.) They don't try to change the world, or even the style, but they do it really well,... Continue Reading →
Wassup Rocker Radio/Alex Kish (Ohio) have decided to gather some of their favourite tracks on a free 32 song compilation. This is a good idea to promote these underground bands as well as the radio! If you regularly read these pages, then you must be familiar with names like RAZORBATS, The CRAZY SQUEEZE, FAZ WALTZ,... Continue Reading →
Californian punky power pop, mixing the energy of the RAMONES, the snottiness of the BUZZCOCKS, and a good dose of UNDERTONES ("Decisions.") I never heard of the RADIOHEARTS before, but it seems like they already released a couple of EPs before. The raw production, powerful bass, and guitar melodies bring The JAM to mind on...

The idea of starting a four, or five piece band with musicians who will play together for years has become more than difficult in 2015. Rich Rags knows about it! From his New York days to Soho in London, he's been through many incarnations of his project to finally give birth to these 11 songs,... Continue Reading →
DUNCAN REID (ex-The BOYS) is back with The BIG HEADS and a fantastic new record ("The Difficult Second Album") out on Wanda Records. We had to ask him a few questions about the band, the album, The BOYS, second albums and French literature! How would you compare "The Difficult Second Album" to the first one?... Continue Reading →
San Diego's SQUARECROW are back with a full album "Oh, Ramona." Somewhere between sunny Californian pop punk and 90s emo punk, the band also added a power pop touch to their music in songs like "My Ramona" and "Don't Worry." Up tempo skate punk fans will enjoy "Die Awake" and "Antenna Booster", RANCID fans might... Continue Reading →
SONS OF BUDDHA have been playing NOFX influenced punk rock for almost 10 years now (they released 2 albums before and a split record with The APERS from The Netherlands.) On this new album, the French band offers us 12 new sunny pop punk songs, including a great cover of M.O.T.O.'s "Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance,... Continue Reading →
Formed in sunny Orange County, California in 2010, the TRASH MONSTERS logically have strong pop punk influences, but they also like early punk rock'n'roll -which can mostly be heard in the guitars- and these guys are sure not limited to one music genre. Whether you're into Lookout Records, NOFX or The RAMONES, songs like "People... Continue Reading →
This isn't really an attractive album cover. You'd think that in this day and age, rock bands would make an effort to try and sell their records but well, maybe it's an art statement after all, as it sure fits with the band's cartoonesque imagery. Luckily, the band's music appears to be interesting. Some high... Continue Reading →
