Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
The Riverbed Release New Single: “Confessional”
With influences from old thrashers like Megadeth and later groove metal bands like Lamb of God, The Riverbed’s newest single “Confessional” is thrashtastic slab of metal up my ass.
Cascade Riot Release New EP: “Life on Venus”
So right off the bat their first song. “P.N.C.” sounds like a Green Day song that I’d hear on early albums like Kerplunk.
Storm Boy Releases New EP: “With a Gasp That Reached to the Sky”
Listened to the whole thing through 2-3 times before I started this review, and I was immediately taken back to one of my favorite split albums: Leatherface and Hot Water Music. If you dug that release (and if you have heard it, I know you did), then you’re gonna love these bangers.
Art of Deception Release New Single and Video: “Isolated”
Art of Deception from PA, bring a fucktastic dose of metalcore mixed with deathcore
Dea & Saint Release New Single: “Shark Tank”
Dea & Saint don’t fit the archetypical sound of a punk rock band, but their mixture of hip hop and trap isn’t really that far a departure since I’ve always considered the souls of punk rock and hip hop to be connected in their opposition to oppression.
King in Yellow Releases New Single: “The Chelsea, At Night”
King in Yellow hail from Kingston, NY which is in my neck of the woods in the Hudson Valley of New York which makes this review all the more exciting because I get to really dig into a song of a local band that I’m gonna do my best to catch live in the near future.
Goodbye Dyna Releases New Single: “Punk Rock Queen”
Ever wondered what an indie rock band largely influenced by The Beatles and Pink Floyd would sound like if they were a punk band that would have fit on any 90’s punk compilation put out by Epitaph Records or Fat Wreckchords? No? Me either, but luckily, this band has delivered the goods that I didn’t know I needed.
Late Night Lies Releases New Single: “Hot Tub”
Fun and silly pop punk that reminds me of a mix between The Aquabats (w/o the ska), Nerf Herder and Bowling for Soup.
Fireman Releases New Song: “World Peace, Eventually”
This is some rad ass politically charged hardcore punk rock. It mixes the veins of 80’s hardcore a la Minor Threat and Gorilla Biscuits with late 90’s hardcore of bands like Strike Anywhere and Lifetime with touches of Bad Religion.
Shower Days Releases New Single: “Walk Away”
I don’t normally do reviews for one man bands where they play everything. They just don’t normally have the feel of full band where people play off each other and connect together to make something unique, but something about this song just worked for me.
Bayline Releases New Single: “Elephant”
Bayline remind me of a mix between The Offspring and AFI when they were both on Nitro records i.e. an aggressive and yet melodic version of SoCal skate punk.
Brain Cave Release New Single: “Neologism”
Brain Cave bring that post hardcore sound that reminds me so much of late 80’s early 90’s Dischord stuff which means I dig the fuck out of it
Sündflut Release New Single: “Ihr Kinderlein kommet”
I have no idea what Sündflut are singing about in this song, but it reminds me of a rad ass mix of The Toy Dolls and Die Toten Hosen i.e. infectious punk rock fun.
Wet Moon Releases New Single: “I’m Ejaculating”
Are you a fan of “Orgasm Addict” by the Buzzcocks? “Sex and Violence” by The Exploited? “Rory Rides Me Raw” by The Vaselines or “Code Blue” by TSOL then you will no doubt enjoy a song about ejaculation
Flashover Releases New Song: “Follow the Leader”
For whatever reason I just fucking dig it because they do it right!
Reactor 7 Releases New Single: “Falso Profeta”
This is some dope ass skate punk from Mexico! They didn’t include a lyric sheet for me to translate, so I have no idea what they are singing about, but that’s part of the beauty of music in general and punk music in specific—I rarely have to understand all the words to get the emotion and feeling the song is presenting.
State of You Releases New Single: “The New Depression”
Fucking Boom! Rapid as fuck drum roll, visceral vocals, driving bass, blazing guitar all right from the fucking get go.
Forklift Assassins Release New Single: Wake Up (Rapid Eye Movement)
Part surf, part punk, part hardcore, all fucking great.
Bingo Boys Release New Single: “Oh Yeah”
I reviewed Bingo Boys album, Freak out and Leave, back in June, so I was stoked to get sent their newest single, “Oh Yeah”!
The Human Fund Release New Single: “Everyone is Poser Except Larry the Cucumber”
So I have a two teen kids, so I had a modicum of exposer to Larry the Cucumber and Veggie Tales when they were younger (though they preferred shows like Yo Gabba Gabba and Sponge Bob), but little did I know that this singing cucumber from a Christian based TV show is actually the punkest motherfucker around.
