OK I'll admit it, I haven't followed the horror punk scene since the early 2000s because, to be honest, it all sounded the same. Everyone wanted to be a ghoulish Elvis and copied each other's simple riffs. So out of that, I stopped paying so much attention. but the fine folks at We Are Horror records, and friends like The Deathtones have helped change my mind.
We Are Horror Records just released a sampler that blew my mind. Every band has their own distinct sound and the entire album is a good time! Each song is like a present for the ears. I will have to say that every song hits in a different way, some can make you focus on lyrics, and others can make you want to dance from the fun melodies. There's something for everyone. It's a little goth, a lot punk, and well thought out. Every band in my opinion is totally different from what I am used to in that particular scene.
The Deathtones
From Voice of Doom to The Jump Scares, even Robby Bloodshed, everyone has their own sound. I am glad I gave this the chance I waited for, and it didn't let me down at all. This is going to be played over and over for a while. We Are Horror Records made a bold statement with their first comp. They brought their best and it shows throughout the album. I am extremely excited to see what is in the future for all the bands involved.
Won't Stay Dead
You can find the album streaming on all popular platforms such as Spotify OR you can hear the album on bandcamp and give a little cash to the cause if you like! What am I saying? Go give them your money!
