Dublin's Hope Collective
When Olivier wanted to put a project together on the noisier sphere of punk rock he couldn't find anyone to assist so in true punk rock fashion he has done it himself. This album is a complete find for me. One that has me screaming phonetically along to the noise on offering from this French musician.
This is not an album for those seeking tunes to get them through the day. It is a reflection of a mind trying to come to terms with what is going on in this crazy busy world, trying to make sense when sometimes there is no sense to be made.
A fresh read about someone growing up in privilege. A fast paced tale where you can feel New York City beaming through the paragraphs
A mysterious 2 piece band out of Dublin. They have put some songs together, a mix of some synth, some funk, some samples and some tunes to give a very pleasant experience.
As the world is starting to dream again the announcement that the Manchester Punk festival will be back next year is exciting news. High point for me is that Jeff Rosenstock is playing as we will all be rushing, hoping we can get in to see him.
6 tracks of punk rock and roll with an attitude rocking through your speakers
Deep down I'm getting visions of the Vapors, maybe even the Ramones or early Paranoid Visions with a small nod to glam rock even but always a record I'm happy to put that needle on to.
Such an important read to enable us to remember the enduring legacy of pain that has been inflicted on elder generations in ireland.
Dedicated to all people who suffer and die trying to get a better life these tunes deserve a listen and Rotura are a band deserving of our time.
Safe to say that after 14 records NOFX don't need any new fans or friends. This may not gather any but if it was your introduction to the band it would be a good starting point which is one of the best compliments you could play to band that just keeps on giving.
