Adelleda - Another Success!

1. Empties

2. Lifers

3. Beauville

Adelleda have released their fourth album titled "Another Success!" This album features two new songs and a cover of Gob's Beauville. Unfortunately the titled of Another Success is not something we would of chosen for two new songs, but hey. For both of these songs, we don't like the duel vocals on top of each other, it honestly just sounds like a mess and it would of worked way better with just the one singer. These vocals or the recording seem to have an echo on them which makes them hard to listen to as well. Thing is, these are not bad songs, but the choices and the mix seem to be off here, otherwise we like it. Now Beauville sounds to have been recorded differently, and has a little less quality in the recording, but the band really shows off their talent and fast guitar playing on this song. All in all, when it comes to this EP, we as a whole could of done without it. Hopefully the band can get things back together and get a little more to what they have been on previous efforts. We also hope to see this band actually play some shows. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it. Good try though.

8. End Credits

Gym Class Joke have released their debut album titled "Corporate Punk$." This album is quite the punk album and really sticks with that sort of skate punk and street vibe here. They have done the typical punk rock you would expect from bands in the 90's so it goes well with the time. They have a similar sound to artists like Belvedere or even Rancid, so if you like that style of punk, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to just an okay standard. Now we aren't sure if the recording just hasn't stood up well or was recorded like that, but either way it needs work for sure. The instrumentation on the album could use some work as well, but with the style of punk they are playing, it is suppose to be sloppy and messy. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album have been done pretty fast and have a very raw feel to them. This is something people who are into this genre like, so it isn't all that bad, just not our thing. Their vocalist can sing alright so hey. With the lyrics, the band tends to go for subjects of feeling alone, being by yourself and just that whole loneliness feeling you can get trapped into. This is something we can all relate to as some point or another, hopefully this help either them or a listener. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. Gym Class Joke have made a debut album that really shows the style they are going for and gives a raw punk feel. We enjoyed it for what it is and they have potential for sure. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Bombs Over Providence have released their second album entitled "Shake Your Body Politic." This album seems to continue on with the bands style and sound where they play fast political punk songs and give their take on the meaning of things today. This would appeal to a fan of Anti-Flags lyrics. When looking at the recording of this album, the album could use a little better of a recording, but the band wants a sloppy feel to their record to help with the sound so thats okay. This band also seems to be alright with their instrumentation here so thats good. Now looking at the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals could use some work as they are pretty sloppy and raspy, but thats the sound the band wants and the lyrics here are really good with the story telling and meaning they hold. if you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Bombs Over Providence have done a pretty good job on this album and can  only keep going up. Hopefully with some progression and continuing to play shows, they can go even further in their career, Good job. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Adelleda - Live In London

1. Doubt
2. Distress
3. Empties
4. Let Them Speak
5. Numbers

Adelleda have decided to release a live EP of their music. This album was recorded March 8th, 2014 at The Black Shire Pub in London, Ontario. Compared to other live albums, this is really lacking, this album sounds like they just took the recording from a video or something of the show. Onto the quality, obviously this album wasn't taken to a studio and worked on to make it sound better, you can tell by listening to this. You do however get the idea of what the band sounds like live. we don't really think that this album should of really been put out, but for fans its nice to listen to once, but you aren't going to really hang onto this album. Hopefully this isn't the last thing the band puts out as this would be a crappy way for a send off. Their studio music is way better, so give one of those a chance, but if you really wanna hear what they sound like live, give this a listen.

15. Empty Frames

The Decay have released their debut album titled "This Month's Rent." This album shows off the band as a faster, hard hitting punk band. They are more of what you'd consider as real punk. When you first put this album on you get the feeling that this band isn't about being able to sing the best or play their instruments the best, but that is the style they are going for.  Another thing on this album is that they have a lot of group chanting throughout the album. On a sound note, this album hasn't been recorded the best and the instrumentation is meh, but that's what they want, a rough, dirty, sloppy album. There is not really one song to listen to over the others, as they all pretty much sound the same and kind of flow into one another. All in all, if you are a real punk fan, then you will be into this, it's not that bad for being that. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Bombs Over Providence - Liberty's Ugly Best Friend

1. Bury My Eyes At 1510 King St. W.
2. You're Either With Us Or Your With The Satirists
3. All The Good Guys Are Dead And I'm Twisting My Mustache
4. Walkerton, Workfare And The Wusses Who Watched
5. I've Got Your Revolution Right Here Wise Ass
6. The Black Friar's Union Of Thursday Night Anarchists

Bombs Over Providence have released their debut album titled "Liberty's Ugly Best Friend." This album is a very punk album and the bands lyrics are very against things that happen in our world and the politics around them. Now when you first put this album on, you can tell that it needs some work and the recording quality could use a notch or two. The instrumentation on this release is pretty simple as well, a little more technique would be a good addition to the songs. On the positive side is the lyrics, it takes a pretty well versed person to put lyrics like this together. A song to listen to on this album would be "Walkerton, Workfare And The Wusses Who Watched" as the lyrics are the best and the music just fit on this song the best as well. In the end, with a few touch ups, more progression and a better overall recording, this could turn into a good political punk band but this is a good start. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Adelleda - Distress

1. Innocence

2. Taking Shots (With Todd Bertuzzi)

3. 5 Months In England

4. Distress

5. Roller Coasters

6. Something In The Water

7. Numbers

8. So Long...

When listening to this album, I get the feel that this band just wanted to make a fast, angry punk record. The band claims to be pop - punk, but when listening to this album, it is very hard to hear any of the new or old pop - punk influences in the music. They did do a decent job with what they were trying to accomplish on this, but it seems to be in a very select section of punk, that will only gain those true followers. Give the album a listen, see what you think of Distress by Adelleda. Caution, they are wings fans, as indicated with taking Shots, so maybe you don't want to support that.

Adelleda - Let's Talk About Adelleda

1. Just A Shame

2. Don't Worry I'm Drunk

3. 5 Months In England

4. Champion

Adelleda's second EP is one that sticks with the whole sound that they are trying to go for. They classify themselves as a pop - punk band, but I wouldn't put them in that category, at least not with this album. They are decent for the Punk music they are doing, but nothing totally stands out with this album. it's not bad, but it is also not great. They do have room to progress with this EP, which is a good thing.

4. Just A Shame

5. Implausible Denial

6. No Excuses

7. G.B.N.

8. Triptune

Adelleda have released their debut album "Herkimer Street." This album shows a young band trying to find themselves in the punk genre. The album is not that bad as far as lyrics and music goes, but the recording of the vocals could have been a bit better. They do seem to be able to play which is a good thing, once they find themselves, they will be solid. On this album, there is not one song that really stands out, so just pick one and see what you think. Overall, this is an alright offering for a first album, if you like more faster punk, you will like this.
