Echoes of Harper's ferry- Never forget

A record filled with with passion and honesty. I'm not getting tired of gruff punk acts, but sometimes bands can be outta line. I find in this record well crafted songs, simple-efficient chords and raw vocals line, great hooks that caught me quick in looping the 12 tracks effort. -Only the acoustic song kinds of bored me- EOHF are from Cleveland and on lock and collective (same as Captain we're sinking). If you want references i'll say smallbrownbike/bannerpilot/lawrence arms/punkrock.. Apart from trying each time to relate to other bands, I'll say that this record is just worth it, it fucking kicked my ass.

Imadethismistake- its okay

A little bit of folk punk. Kyle Williams has been playing acoustic tunes under the name imadethismistake since 2002. in 2007 he started playing with an electric band.
Defiance Ohio meets Bear vs Shark meets the moutain goats. something like that.

Hard girls- Hello

Hard girls are a three piece band from San Jose, Ca. Does it have something to do with their sound. Sometimes i do believe there's a link.
I find in this ep different influences, from the hot water music inspiration of Quinceanara, to the danceable Lazer parade to some classic indie punk rock mixed with enthusiastic singing parts flirting with folk punk stuff. And I like the cover.

Comadre- a wolf ticket

My dear friend Salt'n'peppa, aka Vince put this record on and I'm saying: "what's that?" (well I'm always asking when I've never heard of before-or forget-)So he says its the last Comadre record. I digged the thing and I now pick up the words from punknews because its exactly how i felt about it:
Comadre was fast, sporadic and angry. It all just seemed like a giant mess, but over time the mess began to make sense, with the intensity opening up to great hooks and melodies that range from fist-pounding to danceable. All of this and more is encapsulated in their most recent effort, A Wolf Ticket.
Ranging from Refused to Kid dynamite!I fucking love it, Jenny!

Smalltown- the music

Hail hail sweden!
First swedish band on this page, from Oskarshamn.
Punk rock, power pop, pop punk, that kinda things...I read in the mrr issue#315 (about the implosion lp but its alos true for the music "If you like good music and give a damn, you will buy this record and really listen to it!"

stiff little fingers meets bombshell rocks, smart as bragg, gutsy like the clash. No shit.

Cut the shit- Harmed and dangerous

Def 1. To tell someone to quit playing; to knock it off.
Cut the Shit was a punk/hardcore band based out of Boston, MA. It featured ex-members of Tear It Up, Cops and Robbers, and Bones Brigade. This Lp is 18 tracks in 10minutes of pissed off, raw hardcore/punk !80's thrash explosion! successfully mixing the mayhem of boston hardcore with the ferocity and anger of NYHC. 2003.

Career Suicide- Attempted suicide

One of the best album of 2007. It's straightforward 80's hardcore withh raspy, ramblingly yelled vocals.
It's pounding, it's raw, the slap in your face you need everyday to get your eyes fucking open.
A must have from Ontario.

Iron Chic- Shitty Rambo ep

The first entry of this blog was Iron Chic! Some 11 months ago -Yeah I'll be celebrating soon the one year birthday of YGII- I was expecting a Lp for Iron Chic but well four more are better than nothing at all. 7 inches are a nice path for a band to avoid long awaited releases, as you know recording a full lenght takes way more time...
Long Island's Iron chic feats former members of small arms dealers, Latterman...
It was out nov 1st.
I think i suck at review at the moment: just listen, guess it's better than lame words. ear ear here
