Green Days Americana influenced big brothers have released their debut album - a record rooted in vulnerability
Play of the day needs no planning
Bad planning says this writing this record gave them a sense of purpose during lockdown and it purposely makes a lot of sense as we emerge from those grey days.
Play of the day are Among legends
Canadian sing along pop punks Among Legends have a new single, Come out Swinging, out today
Play of the day is very Domestic
With little riffs going on in the background James tells it how it is. Yeah, things are tough. Life can be hard and this displayed that reality. It’s a perfect Monday morning record, headphones on as you start another week ready to change all your wrongs but in reality it’s a trip to work, some trips to the shop and a wish that you will change that world tomorrow.
Play of the day are Catatonic
Re-release of this much sought after 5 track ep with an extra 13 raw, demo and live early hardcore blasts from Catatonics from Syracuse, New York
Play of the day the distant sound of Quicksand
This fourth album from the band rocks out more than it’s previous 3 and sees the band as strong as ever.
Play of the day brings trouble
This is not the sound of the crowd. It’s certainly not the sound of the spirit level on immaculately, generically identikit city streets. This is the sound of the cracks in the concrete, the splinter in the grandfather clock. The flower in the dustbin. The torn page, full of wisdom, trampled underfoot in the rain.
Play of the day sees the descendents rise again
the new record from reconvened band isn't quite full of new tracks. Their sound was genre defining at the time. The perfect bridge between Ramones, new wave and hardcore. The Descendents were a band that spoke to people for their ordinary lifestyle. It wasn’t rock and roll, it wasn’t hedonistic. It was just good tunes played fast by good people.
Play of the day will shatter your ears
Grit are from that community, one that thrives on interaction and belief in a better world. They proudly belong and this record is an important part of that community
Play of the day to give your heart joy
The guitars jangle along and there's tunes and niceness layered throughout. The band's name translates as heart-joy which certainly suits the heart warming sounds here.
