Review: Ocala, Florida's easycore heroes A Day To Remember have become legends within the scene thanks to their fearless approach and compositional knack for marrying the most saccharine of earworm melodies with heaving, venomous metallic fury; resulting in an incomparable fluid style of post-metalcore meets pop-punk. While breaking onto the scene with 2007's acclaimed For Those Who Have Heart, it was 2009's third full-length Homesick that would catapult the band to the stratosphere, casting a larger light than ever before on the myriad of underground circles that made up their sonic makeup. Arriving on a deluxe gatefold edition to commemorate the album's 15th anniversary, complete with a bonus Live In Switzerland LP plus acoustic renditions of deep cuts, this long overdue reissue seeks to remove the sizzle from the steak of so many Discogs flippers, while boasting some of the biggest ADTR bangers from the gang-vocal camaraderie of 'The Downfall Of Us All' to the seething aggression and monumental breakdown of 'Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End' all the way to the acoustic pop-punk poetics of 'If It Means A Lot To You'.
Review: Raw post-punk trio Abdomen trade in the heavier end of the genre unafraid to douse distortion and fuzz onto everything and create music so exciting it would be hard not to want to throw yourself into a circle put for, 'Damage Tool' is a breathtaking way to get things started and 'Numbers' makes Fontaines DC sound like Boyzone. They are capable of slowing down - 'Dazed' has been slowed into a hypnotic Spacemen 3-esque psych/shoegaze jam. The band are relative newcomers and not widely known... yet. But this is going to be one of those albums you'll be kicking yourself for not having a first pressing of. Abdomen is only going to get bigger and it will give the Tapetown studio in Aarhus, Denmark - where they recorded this - more bragging rights for being among the coolest alternative music spaces in Europe.
