Welcome to the second round of DCxPC Live. We recently took a closer look at the first 7’’ Split featuring Call in Dead and 2AMature. The sophomore DCxPC Live release was recorded at legendary Uncle Lou’s Entertainment in Orlando, Florida. Originally, a three-way split of The Sinema, TV Generation, and Call in Dead as planned to celebrate two recently granted awards: The Sinema won Orlando’s best Metal band, and Call in Dead won Orlando’s best Punk band. As Call in Dead vocalist Jaeh had to call in sick on short notice (no pun intended here), the schedule had to be shortened. Hence, here it is: “DCxPC Live Volume 2 Presents: TV Generation & The Sinema Uncle Lou’s ‘Loustream’ Benefit Orlando, FL”.

The sympathetic Skate Punk band TV Generation has contributed three songs to this live recording.  Their drummer Jorge is well-known in and around Uncle Lou’s for his helping hands in promotion, production of merch and more. TV Generation open their show with a cover version of ‘Drinking ‘bout my Baby’ by The Damned. As this classic is more than forty years old, TV Generation explain that they are actually old enough to know this joint. Hence, their band name makes sense being TV Generation instead of Smartphone Generation or something like that. With the following two tracks ‘Uncle Lou’s’ and ‘Vatos Locos’, the band provides the audience with some kick-ass, fast and intense Skate Punk with a little Hardcore undertone. TV Generation play powerful, aggressive, and somewhat Punk Rock for the mosh pits and the skate parks.

The first track of the B-Side is The Sinema’s ‘RAID’, a song against the networks of people like Steve Bannon, Milos Yiannopoulos, and other Alt Right arseholes. The message of the lyrics should not need further explanation; thus, I agree and repeat the chorus ‘Fuck the Alt Right’! The Sinema play modern, intelligent, melodic, and massive Metal. Their sound fits elements of Alternative Metal, Prog Metal, and Modern Metal. Clean melodic parts create impressive soundscapes that lead into brachially distorted attacks accompanied by deep guttural grunts and tense sonic environments. The Sinema really come up to their award as the best Metal band in Orlando, and they prove that they are ready for a lot more. Keep their name in mind, for this could be the future of Metal music.

Altogether, the second edition of the DCxPC Live series is another successful output by the label that reminds us of what is important: live music. This 7’’ vinyl will look beautiful on your record player, and it friendlily reminds us of the importance of support for artists, venues, and everyone who is involved.
