Red Dons 7″ Review in Plastic Bomb

March 8, 2012 //
0

“Der übliche WIPERS-Gitarrenpunk wird mit Powerpop kombiniert. Eine gewisse Melancholie spielt neben aller Schönheit immer eine Rolle. Der Song “A forced turning point” ist ganz cool, schrammt aber auch haarscharf an der Belanglosigkeit entlang. Auf der 2.Seite hören wie “Se foi”, einen komplexen, ausgefeilten Song, der nicht allzu weit von MASSHYSTERI und den TERRIBLE FEELINGS entfernt ist.  Das Cover besteht aus Karton und wurde ziemlich fein mit Silber und Schwarz bedruckt. Bei den RED DONS bestechen Artwork und Musik immer durch diese Schlichtheit. Hier wird nichts aufgepumpt. Die RED DONS kommen ganz ohne fette Ausrufezeichen aus. Man läuft nie Gefahr den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht zu sehen. Alles konzentriert sich auf das Wesentliche, das wirklich Wichtige. Und das ist auch eine Kunst. Micha.- (Taken By Surprise Records)”

Alchemists reviewed at Sujeira Webzine

February 18, 2012 //

Great review of the Alchemists EP “Sunny Days” in Sujeira Webzine.

If your Portuguese is wanting the gist of it is: they play garage punk that is clean and creative in the style of the Adolescents. Guaranteed one of the best releases of Brazilian punk of the year. Already sniffed out by Maximum Rock n’ Roll,  if you don’t know these punkers from Volta Redonda download the EP HERE.

“Volta Redonda é seguramente uma das cidades que abriga a maior concentração de boas bandas por metro quadrado. Desta vez quem está com gravação nova e surpreendendo a muita gente, é o The Alchemists, que acaba de lançar o EP “Sunny Days”. Mesmo com pouco tempo de existência, eles vêm se destacando devido a sua incontestável qualidade, tocando um Punk Rock garageiro limpo e criativo, no melhor estilo The Adolescents. Além do instrumental totalmente coeso, vale destacar o vocal, que é um dos melhores ouvidos pelo Punk brasileiro nos últimos anos.

O EP com certeza já garantiu seu lugar dentre os melhores lançados neste ano. A banda já foi citada pela Maximum Rock N’Roll, revista referência quando se trata de Hardcore/Punk. Se você curte um Punk Rock e ainda não conhece este magnifíco quarteto volta redondense, pode agora fazer o download aqui.”

THE TOP TEN RECORDS OF 2011

Featured in the VIBRATOR BUZZ BLOG

“#8

MOTHER´S CHILDREN
Are You Tough Enough ?

854078434-1

TAKEN BY SURPRISE RECORDS

Oh Canaduh, you still make me shake my broken bones with a deadly dose of your highly infectious Powerpop-Glam´N´Roll combining only the best songs of the first three Powerpearls Compilation Volumes with barroom boppers like “Milk & Alcohol” or “She´s A Windup” by DR. FEELFGOOD.
Did you ever wish for those to be put on the same stage list as THE BOYS, THE STIFFS or FAST CARS ?
Then these fellow Canucks are the ones to send your record order to ! Please don´t forget putting on some EDDIE & THE HOT RODS while writing this order, it just would be the perfect match.”

Red Dons in MRR 2011 year-end top tens

January 23, 2012 //

Maximum Rocknroll #345 • Feb 2012
The 2011 year-end top ten issue!

Red Dons – A Forced Turning Point :
“Okay, look. The Observers aren’t a band anymore. Get over it. I know the first couple Red Dons records were sub-par, but between the Fake Meets Failure LP and this new EP, people should be talking more about how great the Red Dons are and less about how great The Observers were. Both songs on this record are dark, melodic marvels.”

Mother’s Children reviewed at Full Kick

Great review with a nod to the recording/mastering quality.

Mother’s Children “Are You Tough Enough?” EP

I must say I have no love for our nation’s capital. It is way too fucking cold, way too fucking far from any other decent cities, a shitty drive from Toronto & just offers nothing I need. Peterborough high school gods Candywheel sang “get me out ofOttawa” years ago and it immediately comes to mind when someone mentions the city. All that aside, I love this Mother’s Children EP. Much like the aforementioned Barreracudas, this band sees the value in delivering the short sharp blast. Are You Tough Enough hits the roller rink flying and never lets up. The recording is fantastic – bright & ballsy – perfectly capturing a young band’s boundless energy and joy. Guitars crunch, bass pumps and drums pop huge in the mix, somehow not burying the abundant vocal harmonies.  Highlights in this economical set include punk rock Byrds jangler “Messin Around”, which features my favourite non-Weiss drum fills of the year, and the relentlessly hooky, Devo-nodding “Sue Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”.
