Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Totally Slow Releases New Single: “Future Burns”
I reviewed “Crosshairs” for Totally slow five or six months ago, so I was stoked to get their new single, “Future Burns”! The band continues to combine some of my favorite types of hardcore and punk.
2toaroom Releases First Singles: “New Punk Song” and “Nitrous”
“New Punk Song” would have fit right in the movie “Decline of the Western Civilization” right next to Black Flag and the Germs
Resting B!tch Face Release New Album: “Sounds Gay, I’m In”
Just the name of the band, Resting B!tch Face, and the name of the album, Sounds Gay, I’m in made me so want to love this. Luckily from the moment I hit play, I was fucking loving every damn second of this album. This protest queercore at it’s best.
Human Dinosaur Machine Releases New Single: “Goonbox”
“Goonbox” is another fucking killer tune by Human Dinosaur Machine! I fucking loved their last single “Ventilator” and this one is no less of a banger!
Toxic Frogs Release New Single: “Lose You Again”
I’ll be honest, I don’t often think of France when I think of Celtic/Irish Punk. I’m enough of a social studies teacher to know that the Irish population in France is not high in comparison to countries where English is the native spoken language. And Yet, here I am jamming the fuck out to “Lose you Again” by the fucking Toxic Frogs from France.
Fault Cognitions Releases New Single: “Sad Sack”
I’m loving “Sad Sack” by Fault Cognitions. Raw pop punk? Is that a thing? If it wasn’t, then it is now! I can’t tell if the rawness is a byproduct of the production or just the way the songs are played, but whichever it is, I dig the fuck out of it
Obsidian’s “Born Trouble” is a Fucking Banger!
And that blazing guitar solo makes me wet in three places in my pants.
Get Wrecked Releases New Single: Get Shreked and Die Tryin'
Get Wrecked’s new single, “Get Shreked and Die Tryin'“ is a fucking ripper of a crossover song.
Lemongrab Releases New Single: “J’te crache dessus'“
Much like my last review of Lemongab, I have no idea what they are singing on “J’te crache dessus'“ since I don’t speak French. What I do know is great fucking punk rock, and this is it. It’s raw and gritty and played the way a band plays when they only person they want to please are themselves.
Buckled Releases New Song: “Clickbait”
I reviewed “Divine Comedy” by Buckle a little bit ago, so I was stoked to get this new song, “Clickbait” where they fight the seemingly never ending infestation of assclowns talking shit online.
Busted Radio Release New Album: “Metaphor for Life”
This is punk rock for punk rock fans. No sub genres. It’s not crust punk, it’s not pop punk, it’s not skate punk, it’s not thrash punk, it’s punk that blends the 70’s British punk to the 80’s punk that began to emerge as hardcore. Most of all it’s fucking dope ass fucking good punk.
Rebels in Stereo Release New Album: “Smear Campaign”
Rebels in Stereo were one of the first bands I ever reviewed (Check out my past review of Lace of Steel), so I was stoked to get notice from them about their new album, Smear Campaign.’
Stay Idle Releases New Song: “The Algorhythm”
Stay Idle’s new song “The Algorhythm” mixes the mainstream sounds of bands like Sum 41 with more unique sounds of bands like Refused into a garage punk track for all to enjoy.
Sick Move Release New Single: “Hey Ma”
Sick Move are back with another killer song, “Hey Ma” and it fucking rips. It’s got the intensity of Kid Dynamite or Paint it Black and reminds me a bit of the old Baltimore band, Ruiner, or the old DC band, Crispus Attucks.
GROTTONAUT Releases New Single: “Because”
GROTTONAUT’s new single, “Because”, opens with sticks on the rim of the snare and then two staccato guitar riffs that reminds me of the opening to Offspring’s “Come out and Play” but that is where the similarity between these two bands ends.
Lemongrab Release New Single: “Winter Deprimiert”
This is one of those dope ass songs where I can’t say it sounds like A or B, because they meld so many different influences into their own thing.
The Sons of James Release New Single: “Against My Will”
“Against My Will” by The Sons of James follows the musical path in the two previous singles I reviewed “Boswell” and “All They Told You” i.e. a mix of Pennywise, No Use for a Name and other Fat/Epitaph bands and would have been a standout band on either label’s well known compilations.
Coma Beach Releases New Single: “Extreme Masochist”
My love for this band is not a secret. I’ve written two reviews on past songs “Jesus’s Tears” and “Another Song” in which I’ve compared the vocalist to Leatherface or The Beltones with occasional backing vocals akin to the snotty 70’s British punk band.
Smile Deadly Releases New Single: “Forgiven Me”
Smile Deadly plays punk rock that speaks to their name.
Rusted Teeth Release New Single: “All I Want”
Poland’s Rusted Teeth released “All I Want” about one month ago, and my only regret about taking this long to do the review is that I could have been listening to this shit sooner.
