Loneliness

by Neat Mentals

Est. 2015, in Germany. Something between Pop-Punk, 77 Punk, melodic Skatepunk and a some Metal. We love playing and meeting new people! Loneliness is about trying to get things done but beeing paralyzed by the many options, ending up doing nothing in a world full of selfish people.

Good Luv Gone South

by TOMMY RAY! (The CRY!)

This is just honest raw '77 punk-pop done to perfection. More hooks than grandpa's tackle box!

For fans of

Assault

by Rockstar Racecar

Four no good punk kids from Bloomfield, NJ, have just put out their third record. Rockstar Racecar's 'Hunk Oasis' features some serious rock riffs and cool songs by leader Troy Donohue (turns 16 tomorrow), drum licks by the Wolverine (12), bass by Violet (16), and rhythms by Stanton (16).

For fans of

Sick Things

After years hustling and riffing hard in bands like Barnburner, Trigger Effect and Beat Cops, Sick Things have melded a sound like no other. Combining the hooks and melodies that Cheap Trick and The Cars forgot to write and the raw energy of The Hellacopters and The Buzzcocks.
