Meltdown Tracker Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 This band might be the closest thing to Blink in terms of instrumentals that I've heard. The lead guitarist reminds me of TOYPAJ Tom, especially the tone/style he uses in the Please Take Me Home solo/bridge. The bassist might be my current favourite punk bassist, he carries a lot of the melodies and plays a balanced style that is a happy middle ground between overplaying/shredding and matching the guitar. To me, the bassist is a more talented version of Mark Hoppus (not a slight against Mark, but more a testament to how good this guy is). This sounds like it could be a Mark Hoppus bass line: An example of how the lead guitar is similar to TOYPAJ Tom: Favourite song is probably Spanish Reds, the chorus lyrics are really great IMO. The guy's voice is kind of annoying (reminds me of an edgy version of Bowling for Soup or other generic pop-punk bands). But other than that, I really dig the band's lyrics and bassist.

That’s fair pal, that’s my biggest knock on the band as well. I slightly prioritize lyrics over vocals and the guy can write some really beautiful and heart wrenching stuff, but his aggressive/abrasive emo voice kills a lot of the execution.

Oh yeah I've listened to these guys a bunch. Good shit. Not as memorable to me though for some reason. They're no Iron Chic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Love these guys. Ive known about them for years and posted them on here a long time ago. The vocals have honestly never been an issue for me. Overwinter is one of my fav songs ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 This sounds like a Mark Hoppus lyric, kind of like Going Away to College meets Kaleidoscope: So if you wanna stay up all night we can hit the record shops or just stay in bed drinking Spanish Reds, waiting for the rain to stop. It's passing trough, and you know that you are looking like an angel now. I watch you fall asleep on a dead end street and the world is right somehow.

Elisa Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 You can't beat Iron Chic/Latterman. @Clar-ke has herpes do you listen to Spanish Love Songs? They have big Menzingers vibes. Schmaltz is one of the best albums I've heard in ages and they're even better live. I saw them in a small venue in London in November, the sing along was insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked out a bunch of their songs on YouTube and really enjoy what I've heard so far. Love that the songs are driven by the lyrics and the build up in vocal harmonies in a lot of the songs. Do you have a certain album to recommend to start with? - A few months ago I was super stressed preparing for a trial and was in my office until 4 a.m., but this song kept me going. Love the melodies of this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worst poster here Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Still love this band. The melodies really carry a lot of the songs. Souvenir and Heart Beats Pacific are top tier punk albums imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
