We Are The Union – Great Leaps Forward – Review

Release Date: March 30th, 2010
Record Label: Paper + Plastick Records
Genre: Pop Punk Ska

Stationed firmly in the bosom of the blossoming label that is Paper + Plastick Records, We Are The Union have so graciously adapted a pop-punk ska genre for their recently released effort “Great Leaps Forward.” Normally it is my civic duty to keep as many people away from the demoralizing sounds of ska that i can, but seeing that this isn’t a bunch of unabashed fat guys wearing fedoras and vans, skipping on stage, I think I can let this slide.

A Wilhelm Scream – A Wilhelm Scream EP – Mini Review

Release Date: November 20th, 2009
Record Label: Paper + Plastick Records
Genre: Melodic Punk

AHHHHH, A Wilhelm Scream eh? Thought it might be horror related especially with saw blade cover, but was misled by a cover once again. Well melodic punk isn’t a bad trade off is it? Find it funny the band has been around since ’96 and I have yet to hear them; that changes now with their latest self titled EP. If the band still went by Adam’s Crack I am sure I would have heard of them sooner, but that is beside the point. Five songs under twenty minutes, seems pretty standard, right? The opening riff off Australias catches my attention quick as I tap my foot to the beat, just a good overall jam. Then I am thrown off by the title of the second track, Every Great Movie Has a Shower Scene, I don’t think that holds true especially with my tastes; none the less a crunchy opening riff and sweet sounding guitars draw me in once again. Than there is Fun Time, slower tempo and it put me to sleep, so perhaps not the best choice of title the only fun part about it was the “Whoa Whoa,” reminding me of 311’s Amber. Overall, Fun Time is the only real miss on the album, but this isn’t my type of album I would usually go after something less melodic and with a little more angst, but I must admit the guitars are sweet, wish their was some less focus on the vocal’s but other than my minor gripe it’s pretty good ep grabs my attention but doesn’t blow my mind. ~James Terry
Score: 3.5/5
