In English, one would say "Life is what you make it" or "Every person is the architect of their own fortune". With these proto-liberal thoughts in mind, let's dive into Bad Blood's single "Muzzle Training". The artist from Newcastle questions the assumption that self-optimizing and constant ambitions for self-improvement will result in happiness. The sound, this autochthonous message is carried by, is a colourful mix of Indie Rock, Post Punk, and Garage Punk. Bad Blood provides us with thrilling verses that slowly raise tension which then discharges in the dynamic chorus. "Muzzle Training" is a powerf...

Sich an Papier zu schneiden ist ein Ereignis das ohne jede Wertung einzigartig ist. Die Erinnerung an das Gefühl prägt sich auf ewig im Gedächtnis ein, und ich wette mindestens die Hälfte der Lesenden hat gerade zumindest leicht gezuckt. Sprechen wir von schöneren Dingen. Die Band Papercut ist ebenfalls einzigartig, erzeugt aber glücklicherweise keinen Schmerz beim Anhören. Bereits im vergangenen Jahr hat sich das Quartett im Schmalkaldener Studio Magnolia Sounds zur Aufnahme ihres neuestes Werkes "Gravity" zusammengesetzt. Vertrieben wird das schöne ebenfalls in Schmalkalden bei Ponyphone Records . Etwa vierzig Minuten Spielzeit auf neun Tracks liegen zwischen den Rillen der Schallplatte. Darauf präsentieren die vier Musiker eine leuchtende und vielschichtige Portion Alternative Rock , der mit viel Independent und Post-Punk , einem Quantum Desert, sowie einer unterschwelligen Anreicherung Shoegaze und BritPop versehen ist. Einfallsreiche, emotionale sowie flotte Musik,...
