The email came in from No Fix, and I was immediately hooked:
Rock n Roll Punk from Windsor, Ontario. Self recorded in isolation, soon to be released EP, Apocalyptic Rock. Now that's my kind of press release! And the music turned out to be equally satisfying.
Apocalyptic Rock, officially releasing at the end of this month, delivers four cuts of raw and ripping punk rock. The recording is super lo-fi, and overall I'm reminded of bands like The Pagans and Zero Boys that played tough, snotty punk with a real rock and roll edge. There's also a dark undercurrent to these songs that certainly fits the title of the EP and the times we're living in. Man, that guitar tone is killer! The first couple of tracks are straight-up smashers that come on with force and fury. But then on "Vicious Cycle", Matty shows that he can take a punk rock song past four minutes and still make it totally rage. I really feel the power in these songs. Matty sings and plays every note with tremendous intensity. This is what home-recorded punk rock ought to be: raw, dirty, and chock full of attitude. If you're into the garage punk rock and roll by way of KBD thing, this EP is definitely worth checking out!
