Hellebores, a punk group out of Sydney, released a highly underrated album called Hellemenopee three years ago that kind of got lost in the shuffle of the pandemic. Back with their sophomore effort Uncles, Glenno, Gina, and the gang continue to do what they do best: blasting out super-fun melodic punk tunes with a '90s flavor and an Aussie-sized punch. From start to finish, this album puts a smile on my face. The energy level pretty much stays constant at a ten, and the band's old school poppy punk approach never loses its shine. Even if you don't ordinarily go in for pop-punk stuff, this album just might turn you to the dark side. There's a rawness to these recordings that really suits these songs, and Gina's vocals are impossible to not love. It made my day to see Uncles glowingly reviewed on Add To Wantlist. Clearly individuals with far better judgment than me realize that this is a must-hear album! Powering through 15 tracks in just 26 minutes, Hellebores set a fine example for what pop-leaning punk rock ought to be!
