Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Nihiloceros Release New Song: “Purgatory (Summer Swim)”
I just reviewed “Penguin Wings” by Nihiloceros a short bit ago, so I was stoked to receive a new song so soon after. “Purgatory (Summer Swim)” is another fucking sick tune.
Femme Revolte Release New Song: “Stereotypes”
Femme Revolte are a riot grrrl punk band from Istanbul, and they’ve followed up their first singe, “Slut Anthem”, with another caustic attack on the patriarchy supported gender stereotypes with “Stereotypes”.
Graveyard Dogs Release New Song: “Facetegram”
This is another fucking solid song from a band that has probably been around Orlando long enough now that I can’t keep calling them the new band. Glad to see Orlando is still producing solid ass fucking punk rock!
The Serfers Release New Song: “Rat King”
The opening vocals of “Rat King” by The Serfers has that sort of emo punk / pop punk sound followed by some solid distorted guitar riffage that is punctuated with hits on the clean channel that add a cool counterpoint.
Colider Releases New Song: “Relay”
Colider’s newest song, “Relay”, has that early 90’s grunge mixed with punk sound.
Rezet Releases New Song: “Unholy Grail”
Germany’s Rezet' released a killer new thrash metal song, “Unholy Grail”, which blends 80's speed metal and NWBH sounds into a more modern take that feels fresh today.
Spencer Jo & Ghostly Hounds Release New Single: “Talking to Myself”
Right off the bat this “Talking to Myself” by Spencer Jo and Ghostly Hounds had me thinking of Against Me!. Specifically the phrasing of the vocals reminded me of “I was a teenage anarchist”, but this is by no means an Against Me! clone. I hear elements of Tim Barry, Frank Turner and Chuck Ragan in this.
Adrian and Meredith Release New Single: “NFT”
Adrian and Meredith’s new single, “NFT”, made me immediately think of Gogol Bordello mixed with Squirrel Nut Zippers. The song is catchy, dancey and lyrically interesting as they try to explore what is the value of art and who decides that value.
Nihiloceros Releases New Single: “Penguin Wings”
Nihiloceros bring their self-proclaimed punk pop with just the does of grunge goodness to you in full effect with their new song, “Penguin Wings”! It gives me a distinct Jawbreaker vibe while also sounding totally fresh and different.
Common Crime Releases Two New Singles: “Repressions” and “Call of the Rat”
Common Crimes bring us a rocking version of emo pop punk with their two new songs from their forthcoming EP, “Repressions” and “Call of the Rat”.
Brad Pittance and The Pirates Release New Single: “One Night Stand”
From the very start “One Night Stand” by Brad Pittance and The Pirates took me back to the mid-90s when I was in high school, and I had just started getting into ska. One of my favorite purchases back then was a four-CD compilation called Ska Wars with bands like Judge Dread, Bad Manners, The Selector, and The Loafers. This rad ass song would have fit perfectly on that comp.
Skint Knees Releases New Single: “Cheerleader”
From the start of “Cheerleader” Skint Knees come at you with an in you face fucking questions: “1-2-3-4 How Long Until I’m Called a Whore?” overtop a drum beat that reminds me a bit of the chorus of T.W.A.T. by The Twats. This is a rad fucking mix of street punk and Riotgrrrl without fully falling into either camp.
DEDPAN Releases New Single: “Lie to Me”
Australia’s DEDPAN plays hardcore punk that is a bit like a mix between what you’d hear if you mixed C.O.F.F.I.N, Amyl and The Sniffers, OFF!, CIVIC and Speed all together i.e. fucking sick!
Mea Culpa Release New Single: “Is it Punk Enough?”
Mea Culpa’s title track and first single off their new album, Is it Punk Enough, is a dope slab of rawly recorded by tightly played hardcore punk.
Ryan Cassata and The Top Surgeons Release New EP: This Machine Kills Transphobia
Ryan Cassata with band, The Top Surgeons, provide us an EP that is a dope mix of punk, folk, grunge, indie rock, and a pure fucking awesome.
2toaroom Release New Self-Titled EP!
A couple months ago I reviewed two songs by 2toaroom, “Nitrous” and “New Punk Song”, but now I get the honor to review their self-titled, four-song EP! It’s a raw, rad, gnarly fist of punk rock in your face. Very classic 80’s hardcore sound that I love.
On The Cinder Releases New Album: “Heavy Handed”
What I love most about On the Cinder is that I can’t really pigeonhole them.
WorldSucks: New 7” and Tour!
This is metal from the heart, filled with soul, and pointed towards making a difference.
Love Ethic Releases New Song: “The Mind is Cleansed Through the Mouth”
What can I say about Love Ethic’s newest single, “The Mind is Cleansed Through the Mouth”? For one it’s the song about my grandmother washing my mouth out with soap that I didn’t know I always longed for.
Me, Grimlock Releases New Single: “Winning Streak”
All and all this is a solid as fuck first single by this new band from Seattle, and I’m stoked to hear what comes next.
