Yes it's the continuation.
Germ Attak "Ouroboros" LP
- This one sounds like it was straight out of the eighties, but in a good way. Raw, and thrashy h/c punk ranging from Discharge to Crucifix influences. The lyrics are short and to the point, which is nice. Sometimes volume of songs outweighs the actual content for the benefit. The lyrics are not just thrown together for no reason, as some punk bands have been known to do, and the resulting effect is slogans that are easy to comprehend, without being overly preachy. Love every minute of this, you spiky punks! The energy is coming at you with every lick, and these Canadian boys keep you bobbing your head til the end. Highly recommended for your hardcore thrashy fix of the month. On Capitalicide records.
The Measure [SA]- "Old Crow" EP
The first song is absolutely great! Trading off female/male vox makes for a very heartwarming song about parting ways. The second song, "good soup" is the clearly weakest song here. It is a faster h/c'ish song that just falls flat lyrically and vocally. The rhythym is off from music to vox, and it shows. The third song is a cover and is very strong. Originally by Soltero, "The Moment You Said Yes" is a ever increasing song in the pop punk vein with great vox on how both parties are disaffected with their sexual partners. Builds up and keeps the interest flowing throughout. A definite classic.
New Bomb Turks- "Stick It Out" EP on FatWreck...
Yes!!! Blazing speed on the first two tracks, lyrically inclined and on shiny Blue Vinyl to boot! Excellent punk rawk and roll thrash through the first two. The cover I feel is the obvious standout. "Job" is clearly excellent, forcing you to respect their punk credentials on the other two tracks. They rip through their songs with plenty of licks to handle themselves, yet the vocals either seem too buried or too irrelevant to anything for me. Some improvement could come from this. However, "Job" cover from Nubs is well worth getting this one.
