Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Latch Releases New Single: “Buzzkill”
I did a review of a previous Latch song, “Oath Breaker”, where I insinuated that they could have been on the classic comp This is Boston…Not LA and held their own against The Freeze and Gang Green. This new song, “Buzzkill” is off their new EP - Trapped in this Flesh and keeps the hardcore while demonstrating a little bit more of the punk in hardcore punk.
Commodity Releases New Single: “Fell from the Sun”
My first thought is that I could be back in DC at St. Andrews Church listening to some late 1990’s early 2000’s melodic hardcore and youth crew bands.
Empty Page Releases New Single: “Cock of the Fifth Year”
Empty Page’s single, “Cock of the Fifth Year”, off their new LP, Imploding, is a kick ass mix of punk and grunge.
Fracture Type Release New Single: “Strafe”
Fracture Type sent me “Strafe” off their new EP Make Your Brain A Better Place To Live and this is some killer shit. It’s got influences from hardcore, metal, early emo and more happening here. In just over 3 minutes there are so many elements happening here, I feel like it’s the periodic table of aggressive music.
Despised Mourning Release New Single: “Narcissist”
Damn! Life got busy, so I’m a bit behind on reviews, and that means I’ve missed nearly a month of being able to listen to this fucking banger! Despised Mourning is out with a new EP Hail Nothingness, and I was sent a single, “Narcissist” as a preview, and I’m fucking loving blasting this at 7 am. Great fucking way to start the day.
Deer Park Avenue Releases New Single: “Queen of Disaster”
Deer Park Avenue’s newest single, “Queen of Disaster”, skirts that line between indie pop punk and mainstream pop so effectively that I could see why they are a perfect fit for festivals like SXSW.
Pink Suits Releases New Single: “Are You Gay Yet?”
I’ve already reviewed “C.O.F.F.E.E.” and “Refuse the Rules” by Pink Suits, so I was stoked to get their new single, “Are You Gay Yet?”.
Che Arthur Releases New Single: “Sliver”
Some of you may know Che Arthur from their time in Pink Avalanche or Atomicpocketknife, if so when you listen to their new single, “Sliver”, you’ll recognize that distinct timber that is characteristic of their voice, but it will be accompanied by music that is more aggressive and posthardcore than in previous projects.
Edging Release New Single: “Fuck You Sir”
There is so much I love about Edging. I am totally down with their protopunk art school saxophone laden sonic experience.
Loaf Releases New Single: “Headaches”
It’s always dope to get sent a song by a band that I’ve played with.
SnuggleBunzzz Releases New Single: “Cutetastrophy”
Musically this is classic death metal with deep in a cave guttural vocals that would probably be dug by fans of 200 Stab Wounds, Sanguisugabogg, Full Of Hell, Mortician and their ilk.
Sick Move Releases New Album: Intrusive Thoughts
So I appreciate the ability for people to hear so much amazing music because of the Internet, but every now and then I hear a digital album that just screams, “Someone please put this out on fucking vinyl! This is too damn good to just be streamed!!!” and such is the case with Sick Move’s new album, Intrusive Thoughts!
Heavy Lag Releases New Single: “Time Was Never on My Side”
Heavy Lag’s newest single, “Time Was Never on My Side”, is a dirty pop punk song that’s catchy as fuck.
Totally Slow Releases New Album: “The Darkness Intercepts”
The Darkness Intercepts is officially out on Refresh Records and the rest of the album is just as fucking dope as their first two singles.
Won’t Say Rabbit Releases New Single: “Just a Prisoner”
Won’t Say Rabbit’s new song, “Just a Prisoner” mixes elements of punk, grunge and indie rock into a dope, catchy as fuck rock song.
Your Best Nightmare Releases New Album: A Simple Solution for Toxic Masculinity
I am so stoked to dig into A Simple Solution for Toxic Masculinity by Your Best Nightmare, and I’m even more stoked to catch them live at the Fuzebox in Albany on April 3rd!
Longfriend Time Friend Releases New Single: “Saint of Something”
When I first heard “Saint of Something” by Longfriend Timefriend, my first thought was that this sounded a bit like the Ergs if the Ergs were playing a 1950’s sock hop.
Meggera Releases New Single: “Adoletreta”
This is my kind of metal. It fast, it’s heavy and crosses over into hardcore. I could see them going on tour with DRI, Nuclear Assault, Municipal Waste, etc. It would be a fucking ripper of a show.
Danny Rebel & The KGB Release New Single: “Spiral Eyes”
Danny Rebel and the KGB’s new song “Spiral Eyes” is an example of that classic ska. Fans of ands like The Skatalites, The Pietasters or The Phensic should dig the fuck out of this.
Grave Faces Release New Single: “My Mind Fell Out”
Grave Faces’ new song, “My Mind Fell Out” brings that late 90’s early 00’s melodic hardcore
