Kryye's debut full-length Pop Punk Burgermag is the best pop-punk album I've heard in a few years. Sometimes pop-punk bands stand out to me with originality or inventiveness, but in the case of Kryye, it's all about taking a timeless musical style and executing it to perfection. This South African foursome tears through 10 tracks in 14 minutes, and the band's enthusiasm for this type of music is truly contagious. This is music that wears a smile on its face and is sure to put one on yours. I first fell in love with punk music due to early '90s pop-punk, and Pop Punk Burgermag has me feeling that same kind of excitement all over again. A lot of that has to do with the charm and likeability of Blessing Hendricks on lead vocals, but you just can't deny this band's knack for writing songs that are super-fun and instantly catchy. If you like fast, snappy punk tunes with buzz-saw guitars and melodies for days, you need Kryye in your life. Beau Basement produced Pop Punk Burgermag, and his ear for what makes a great-sounding pop-punk record sure was bang-on. In terms of physical formats, this album is a cassette-only release from Hey Pizza! Records. Get it while you still can!
