On today’s schedule is rock, and then with the Malmö band The Marcel Prostitutes. It’s retro, it’s punkish, full speed ahead, sweat and dirty guitars. Maybe like a heavier, punkier, early Blondie. Here below are two songs to listen to. If you want more you should visit The Marcel Prostitutes on Myspace.
Pull A Star Trip. Singer/songwriter with a couple of adreneline injections, or hardcore with acoustic guitars? They have been compared with Dashboard Confessional, which I can agree with to some extent, but here’s an extra intensity and energy which seems endless. And even if it’s not at all the same genre, I can’t help thinking about The Proclaimers and foremost their “I’m gonna be (500 Miles)”, in the energy and the interaction. Maybe somewhere around all this you can find Pull A Star Trip’s music.
In 2009 Pull A Star Trip released their first album “E-Vasion Inn”. Here are two tracks from the album:
Lars Wallin, whom Jesper wrote about last year, has released a new album this autumn, “Act Now!”. And just like the album name indicates, it is with clenched fists that Lars Wallin and The Tribe takes the stage, and send out their message with attitude and energy.
Folk punk I could call it, with a rough, tight acoustic sound, which includes flute, a hard working bass, but foremost the didgeridoo. This instrument is a little like Lars’ trademark and is used in most tracks.
Last summer we wrote about Malte X here on Meadowmusic. And now they’re on the move again with new music.
This Monday their new singel “Kamikaze volontär” (You Wanted the Worst Records) was released. And if you liked them before, I don’t think you’ll be dissappointed with this new track. It’s rock’n’roll and it’s punk rock, high speed and attitude.
Three high school friends took their disgust for school choirs and pretentious jazz students and their frustration over growing up in a small town, as the fuel for starting a band, Pretty Whores.
Does it sound like punk? Yes, and punk rock is exactly what it is. Steaming, energetic punk rock with a garage, old school feeling. Add some Beastie Boys attitude and we’re getting close to their sound.
Pretty Whores have recently released their self titled EP, and you can listen to and download a track from the EP, here below. You’ll find the band on Pretty Whores’ site and on Myspace, where you can listen to the other songs from the EP.
