Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Pinkish Releases New Song “Hearts of Palm”
The minute I hit play, I did a double take. I immediately recognized those vocals as Nina from Wet Nurse one of my all-time favorite Orlando area bands
Storm Boy Releases New EP: Superposition!
I reviewed their last EP, With a Gasp That Reached the Sky, and I said they reminded me a bit of Leatherface and Hot Water Music, particularly with the vocals.
Crills Wilson Release New Single: “100 Degrees”
The highlight of the song is the really great horn work that adds all the extra flavor this song needs.
Mason Via Releases New Single: “Falling”
If I had to compare this to any (folk) punk it might a mix of Greg Graffin’s solo work like American Lesion or maybe a touch of Run Rabbit Run.
Cat Ridgeway Releases New Single: “Epilogue”
Somehow despite being stuck in Orlando for 15 years, I managed to never catch a show with Cat Ridgeway, and if her new song, “Epilogue” is any indication of her craft, it is definitely my loss.
Charm School Releases New Single: “Debt Forever”
Charm School’s new single “Debt Forever” reminds me of a dope mix between IDLES and PUP.
Jersey Calling Releases New Single: “Projections”
I’ve reviewed songs by Jersey Calling several times in the past including their album Parasocial Security, and I’ve always dug their 90’s pop punk influenced slabs of rock, and this new song, “Projections” is no different.
Aberrant Kingdom Releases New Single: Bygone Conflict
I love it when a band keeps it fucking kicking for nearly two decades and still puts out kick ass mother fucking rippers!
Aku Releases New Single: “I Know About You”
Brighton’s Aku provide a kick ass slab of hardcore with some technical effects in their that give it an almost industrial feel at times.
Amora Releases New Single: “Blink of an Eye”
There are so many elements of this song that rip. The bridge with the build up is fucking sick. And the different guitar leads are tasty as fuck. Good shit indeed.
Unified Move Releases New Single: “Once Again”
Hailing from Switzerland, Unified Move, is not being neutral in their sonic attack! “Once Again” is one track of their third album, Anger, and if the rest of their songs are this good, then the record fucking smokes!
Threats Releases New Single: “Hurricane”
Hailing from Nipaluna/Lutruwita (Hobart/Tasmania) Threats delivers a blistering hardcore punk sure to get the kids moving and the adults moving to the back to avoid a spin kick the the face!
Goddamn Wolves Release New Single: “Intervention”
Gooddamn Wolves’s new single, “Intervention”, takes me back to the 1990’s with their mix of indie rock and pop punk that reminds me something that I would have heard on Sub Pop Records back in the day. Maybe like Gumball or The Lemonheads mixed with The Vaselines?
Recalculating Releases Single: Based on the Comedy of Ray Romano
Recalculating’s new album, Do You Like to Laugh, opens with their single, “Based on the Comedy of Ray Romano” which immediately reminded me of one of my favorite bands from Baltimore, Landspeedrecord! mixed with Nation of Ulysses mixed with The Talking Heads i.e. good fucking shit!
Burning Hag Release New Single: “Hot Katana” off their EP, Ugly!
Philadelphia femme power trio mix sludge, metal and punk into their own grimy kick ass song, “Hot Katana”. This reminds me of a mix of The Cut-Rate Druggists and Antagonizör which is to say I fucking love it.
Wexford Releases New Album: Silent Key
These dudes are probably close to my age or if not they just dig that late 80’s/early 90's postpunk, posthardcore, dischord, grunge, emo scene. Yeah I know that’s a lot of adjectives, but their sound ranges from Hot Water Music, Fugazi, Hum, Quicksand, Dinosaur Jr, Jimmy Eat World, Jane Addiction, and more.
Eastern Pine Release New Album: extended.play
So far as I can tell Eastern Pine is a new Emo/Post Hardcore band from Western, PA who have decided to come out fucking shit up by releasing a killer album right out of the fucking gate!
2TOAROOM is back with their new single: “Crawl”
It’s been over a month since I’ve done a review, and to be honest, I’m still on hiatus, but when these RVA punk asked me to review another song for them, I found I couldn’t say no.
Dad Release New Single: “Snake Handshake”
Brooklyn based band, Dad, have released a fucking killer new single, “Snake Handshake” which is a mix of sludge metal and post hardcore. As I’m listening I’m hearing elements of Clutch, Drug Church, Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard to name just a few. Maybe even some Big Black.
Disqualifier Releases New Album: Consolidating Logistics Since 1776
From start to finish Disqualifiers’ new album, Consolidating Logistics Since 1776 does a masterful job of blending classic hardcore punk elements, with pop punk and just enough post hardcore touches that helps the whole album sound really fresh and new.
