Raw rock stories on powerful debut ”I’ve Become” with Bat Allison

Posted on 28 July 2020

Bat Allison is a strong 3 piece punk rock band that have just released their debut ”I’ve Become”. This is an excellent effort from the young act as they get their name out to the world.

Taken off ”Lizard Lounge Sessions”, this is the lead track from the Bohemian Punk Band. This is a genre the band made up as they feel it is artistic and unconventional. Just the way they all like it.

Bat Allison is a great name and this is a terrific track full of punk influences. ”I’ve Become” is that come-up song that shows that you know who you are. This is a statement entrance into the music game for the US band. This is a quality punk rock band that is on the way up high. The 3-piece band smash through with their solid vocals and strong sound.

Tough on Fridays have returned with their resonantly visceral modernistic take on Alt 90s with the release of “Simplicity III”

Posted on 14 July 2020

Georgetown, TX Alt-Rock powerhouse Tough on Fridays blew us away when they appeared on our radar with their 2-track release “Simplicity II”.

On July 3rd they dropped “Simplicity III” in the style of 7” release with A side and B side singles. Yet, you’ll find that both tracks are equally as evocative and artfully intense. Tough on Fridays brought Alt 90s nuances right into the 21st century with their melodically resolving, lyrically lacerating style.

Track 1, “Lonely Eyes/Pines” may be a piercingly emotional aural experience, but you can’t hold it against Tough on Fridays for hitting you with undiluted apathetic resonance. Seeing as the whole globe has gone through extensive isolation prior to the release, I can only imagine how many people will find themselves in the candidly connectable track.

Track 2, “Out of the Blue (The Deep End)” perfectly follows on from Lonely/Eyes with a slightly amplified sound and an even more visceral angsty bite. There aren’t many tracks which could simultaneously appease fans of L7 and contemporary ennui-laden Pop Punk, but Tough on Fridays discernably succeeded.

You can check out Simplicity III for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.
