Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
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.
Lucas Kurmis Releases New Single: “Back in 420 BC”
Lucas Kermis’s song “Back in 420 BC” is an homage to Jeffrey Lewis’s track “Back when I was Four”
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.
Motel Portrait Release New Single: “I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOUI LOVE YOU ”
Having played a handful of shows in Frederick, MD 20 years ago or so where the redneck population were generally none-too-happy to see a bunch of punks roll up, it’s great to see that this band is from that area.
City of Pieces Release New Single: “Status Quo”
Hailing from Salem, OR, City of Pieces brings a fresh take on punk infused garage rock.
Just Barely Releases New EP: “An EP”
The moment I heard the vocals from Just Barely, I was taken back to 20+ years ago to a show at the Sidebar in Baltimore where my old band, The Overprivileged, was playing with Osker, that snotty fucking dope punk band that was on Epitaph Records, because that’s exactly what Just Barely sounds like.
Sick Move Releases New Single: “F.Y.P.”
Hailing from one of my favorite cities in the world, Baltimore, Sick Moves comes in swingin’ hard with that melodic hardcore of the early 2000s
Sunset the Machine Releases New Single: “Owl Scream”
Sunset the Machine is back with another dope space-age, sci-fi infused metal song. I recently reviewed their last single for “Queen of the Monsters”, so I was stoked to see they had another single out.
The Ugly Cowboys Releases: “Life Sucks, Do Drugs”
Despite the fact that I didn’t have a "cheap vodka & bong rips" period during college and my general lack of drug experience, I find this to be one catchy ass fucking song.
Der Butterwegge Released New Single: “Kein Bock”
Der Butterwegge bring me that skacore like I grew up skanking to in the 1990’s with the blasting horns, skankable verses, and big distorted guitar punk choruses.
Mike and the Nerve Released a New Single: “Grace”
Having reviewed their previous single “Fool’s Gold, and False Idols”, I was stoked to see I was gonna get a chance to review their newest song. And what a fucking great song it is.
