8.6

/Pop punk, Easycore, Acid punk/

Comment: this 6-track issue (spreaded out over 16 minutes) is a poppy amalgamation of acid-tinged punk rock, broadly flourishing synthesizer lines, half-shouting vocal performance and boasting guitar riffs. A ton of energy is up there throughout the course. On the other side, this 6-piece Uruguayian group fortunately know where it is right to stop not to cross over the borders of bad taste.

/Pop-punk, Progressive, Hardcore/

Comment: Distraccion Masiva is a quartet from Buenos Aires, Argentina whose music rely on poppy punk and hardcore tendencies. However, at times the listener can perceive more arty developments toward the templates of progressive rock. For sure, all these unison-sung choruses are sympathetic. The most intriguing elements are represented at Demasiado Tarde where conventional song structures are traded to silence and white noise torrents.   

Thousand Needles – Thousand Needles (2011)

Lepork

8.1

/Happy punk, Melodic punk, Easycore, Pop punk/

Comment: Four melodic punksters from Jakarta, Indonesia playing up the dynamical chords of guitar-based music sung in English and Indonesian (adding lots of excitement and exoticness to the whole). Though the 7-track release seems artistically to be unpretentious, the most important aspect is that their sound is organized in a high-energized, catchy way. The last track on it offers a surprising glimpse through the recruitment of march rhythms. Compare this band`s oeuvre to Shortcut To Last`s one, a Canadian band recently reviewed on this blog either.
