The Duplo - Yeah! (It Ain't Easy) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Punk is not dead.

There are a lot of bands that can bring the punk sound, but far too few that truly capture the intelligent defiance that once upon a time defined the genre.

The Duplo have captured that brand of rebellion here with a hard-charged melody, beat, and spot-on vocals delivering a direct yet meaningful set of lyrics. Coming out of Finland, this is a band with something to say, and the the bad ass chops to say it with fire and fury.”

No Time For Reason - Catfish [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A Punk Pop anthem that delivers an energetic punch.

’Catfish’ is about exactly what you think it is, but that predictability is not a negative, because the band goes full throttle start to finish. ”

Felin - Money Honey [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Pinpointing exactly what I love about this track is tough. There is an undeniable energy to the performance, and the video is wryly funny.The overall sound here us Euro Punk in nature and the overall project of song/video carries the same European flavor throughout. Well worth a watch and a listen.”

Notel Motel - Soviet Cigarettes [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“With a melody that would feel at home in a James Bond flick, and vocals leaning toward the Punk side of rock, Notel Motel offers a unique blend of sounds. But the real hook here is the mesmerizing lyrics that keep you listening while wondering WTF they are going to say next. That is not to say the lyrics are ambiguous. No, they are simply unpredictable in all the best ways. ”

Rating: 4 out of 5

“With full on Punk bravado, Slim Tin Fox delivers attitude straight from Dublin in this snarling ode to Molly. We’ve all known a Molly.”
