Reckless Kickers – Conquer EP (2013)

  • Skate punk 
  • Pop punk 
  • Hardcore punk 
  • Skatecore

Comment: Reckless Kickers is not a North American band like Sum 41, The Offspring, Blink-182 and who have not sold millions of albums but instead of it coming from Indonesia yet playing an analogous punk style. More profoundly, high-energized melodic guitar riffs, fast drumming, invigorated and slightly happy singing is something which can be pigeonholed as melodic hardcore, pop punk, skatecore. By following the lyrics of one song regarding repulsive and desperate feelings related to urban life it might be more righteous to consider it eco-punk/agrarian punk. Just the failed joke of mine. In the first place, it is a sort of pop music rather than a bearer of early punk spirit in spite of the fact Sex Pistols was a business project by Malcolm McLaren. Undoubtedly it is produced very masterfully with some suggestive noise pop-inflected walls behind the refrains which can be considered the most arousing facet of the album. The 5-notch outing is a bit of the discography of Lemari Kota, a fine platform within the vast Indonesian music landscape.
