Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common Crime Releases New Single: “Ghosted”
It’s catchy as fuck and despite being sad as all get out somehow makes me smile.
Martirio Release New Single: “Fuerza”
Not sure if this band is touring, but if they every come to NY, I’ll get them a fucking show for sure.
Vida Releases New Song: “In Absence”
The song is heavy on groove and energy with lots of builds and drops that keep you just on the edge.
LJ Sleeze Releases New Album: Dead or Alive
This is a solid as fuck release full of bangers, and my only regret is that it’s not on vinyl!
Get Wrecked Release New Single: “Eternal Struggle”
I’m so fucking digging “Eternal Struggle” by Get Wrecked.
Nasty Neighbours Release New Single: “V.I.P.”
Argentina’s Nasty Neighbours kick it fucking hard with their new single, “V.I.P.” which reminds me of a mix of class riot grrrl like Babes in Toyland with a touch of Bantam and The Toys Dolls thrown in for good measure.
Spike Polite & Sewage Release New Song: “Florida”
With a name like Spike Polite & Sewage, I could assume there would be some amount of humor in their lyrics—which proved correct.
Common Crime Releases New Single: “Life Preserver”
I reviewed both “Repressions” and “Call of the Rat” for Philly’s Common Crime about a month ago, and they are already back with “Life Preserver” a melodic pop punk tune about heartbreak most sorrowful.
Colider Releases New Single: “Tiki”
This is a solid ass melodic punk rock song that could have fit easily on any of those popular CD compilations in the 1990’s whether it was Fat, Epitaph, Asian Man, etc.
Vida Releases New Single: “TMS”
Their bio says they were on hiatus, and based on Bandcamp their last release was nearly ten years ago, so all I can say to that is I’m glad they ended their hiatus cause this is fucking dope shit.
State Power Releases New Single: “Payback”
State Power’s newest single “Payback” reminds me of something I might have heard from Paint it Black or Ruiner i.e. tight and fast hardcore with just a touch of melody to make me want to sing along when I’m not diving off the stage or circle pitting.
