Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
King Tide Releases New Song: “Jenny”
From start to finish King Tide’s new song “Jenny” off their album “Down with the Ship” reminds me of a song I would have heard on that first Fat Music for Fat People comp
Ritmo Lokura Release New Single: “Maria”
I was immediately hit with the Latin fusion in this rad as fuck ska band.
Spike Polite & Sewage Release New Song: “Florida”
With a name like Spike Polite & Sewage, I could assume there would be some amount of humor in their lyrics—which proved correct.
Common Crime Releases New Single: “Life Preserver”
I reviewed both “Repressions” and “Call of the Rat” for Philly’s Common Crime about a month ago, and they are already back with “Life Preserver” a melodic pop punk tune about heartbreak most sorrowful.
Colider Releases New Single: “Tiki”
This is a solid ass melodic punk rock song that could have fit easily on any of those popular CD compilations in the 1990’s whether it was Fat, Epitaph, Asian Man, etc.
Vida Releases New Single: “TMS”
Their bio says they were on hiatus, and based on Bandcamp their last release was nearly ten years ago, so all I can say to that is I’m glad they ended their hiatus cause this is fucking dope shit.
State Power Releases New Single: “Payback”
State Power’s newest single “Payback” reminds me of something I might have heard from Paint it Black or Ruiner i.e. tight and fast hardcore with just a touch of melody to make me want to sing along when I’m not diving off the stage or circle pitting.
Die Feen Release New Single: “Pencils”
Digging Die Feen and their new song “Pencils” a second-wave gothic styled rock band with some punk undertones that remind me of The Damned.
Wroht Releases New Single: “Beyond Salvation”
Apparently they are back from a five year hiatus, and I for one am stoked because this shit just fucks.

Decoy’s new three song EP is! Re:Selection hits hard with three fucking bangers of metallic hardcore for fans of bands like Hatebreed, Converge, Vein and All Shall Perish.
Kathook Release New EP: Embrace the Madness
Okay. Just what the fuck? This is the sort of weird, rad as fuck music that would have easily fit onto Alternative Tentacles or SST back in the day.
Whippets Release New Single: “Splinter”
The Whippets are back with a new single, “Splinter”, off their new self-titled LP released by No Coast Records. Similar to the last song I reviewed, “Ice”, this new song spans so many influences that it is hard to pin down genre-wise or comparison wise.
Spencer Jo Releases New Single: “Quiet Violence”
Their new single, “Quiet Violence” is another reason everyone should be ordering their new full length EP: The Water released in collaboration with Meter Records, Momentsfestsiksika, and Sawdust Records.
Nazghor Releases New Single: “Esoteric Bloodline”
Nazghor’s new single, “Esoteric Bloodline”, shows why they have been leaders in melodic black and death metal for over a decade.
Cross Dog Releases New Single: “Jane Roe”
Before I even realized that the Cross Dog was just drums and bass, their sound brought to mind bands like Evil Beaver and Cut-Rate Druggist who both have also left out guitar in their blend of punk, metal and grunge.
Marc-Alan Prince Releases New EP: Unforgiven
Marc-Alan Prince’s folk punk is heartfelt and earnest…
Sotah Release New Song: “Division Line”
Back in August I reviewed “Sotah” by Sotah and was touched by the poignance and sadness incorporated into a ska song. Today I’m reviewing their newest song, “Division Line” featuring none other than Dicky Barret of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Lsyne Releases New Single: FRÅ SOGN!
Lysne’s new song, “FRÅ SOGN!”, is a solid as fuck pop punk song.
Yogamum Release First Single: “Jordan Peterson Blues”
Yogamum’s “Jordan Peterson Blues” mix punk and grunge to create their own unique sound that’s got me hooked.
Marisa Bloom Releases New Single: “Dairy Queen”
Marisa Bloom’s new song, “Dairy Queen” starts off giving off strong rockabilly vibes wrapped in a punk leather jacket.
