Gatorface – Wasted Monuments (No Idea)
Gatorface straddle the line between punk and hardcore, coming down on both the more melodic and the snottier sides of both genres. The mathy complexity of some songs doesn’t justify itself, instead serving to undermine some of the catchier choruses here. Nonetheless, this is an energetic and enjoyable album.
Hunters, Run! – EP3 (Battle Standard/At Arms)
On this 7 inch EP, Hunters, Run! mix synth sounds into a predominantly guitar-driven emo songwriting style. Mournfully beautiful choruses, excellent vocals, and a good integration of unconventional instruments with good old distorted guitars create a gorgeous, melodic sound. My only complaint is that it ends too soon. More, please.
Mark Matos And Os Beaches – Words Of The Knife (Porto Franco)
This is mellow hippie beach vibe music that’d put me right to sleep if it didn’t annoy me too much for any sleep to be possible. Think Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, all that hacky-sack garbage. If this kind of music is your jam, you must be boring as hell.
