After │ │ quietly revolutionising indie pop during the last decade, Belgium seems │ │ to have discovered its affinities for melodic punk music. │ │ │ │ On this split-CD, a collaboration between Funtime Records and Eye Spy │ │ Records, two of Belgium's most renowned bands offer four songs each. │ │ Flatcat start the album immediately with a totally convincing │ │ distillation of what modern punk rock is all about. Feeling at ease in │ │ the middle between Green Day and Bad Religion (just check out the │ │ backing vocals), with an occasional lyrical nod at Nirvana (We're here │ │ to entertain you), Hear Tonight is one of the more refreshing punk songs │ │ I have heard in a long time, meaning: if you can't reinvent the genre, │ │ then have a slightly ironic approach. Although Flatcat sometimes also │ │ play faster, their sound is always very polished, especially the vocals │ │ that seem to have been treated ever so slightly to make them even │ │ cleaner. The backing vocals are provided by the singer from Janez Detd. │ │ If punk means to you anarchy, Discharge and Exploited, then Flatcat are │ │ nothing but wimps to you, but if punk is something more malleable to │ │ you, something that can have many different faces, then you might enjoy │ │ Flatcat's professional attitude, and it wouldn't be such a big surprise │ │ to see them on one of the bigger labels (Fat Wreck, Epitaph or Victory) │ │ in the near future. │ │ │ │ Five Days Off have a hard task from here on, and it needs to be said │ │ that they can't reach the level of Flatcat, although they are also a │ │ very convincing band. The production has less punch here, but the │ │ energetic songwriting makes up for that. 5DO are less polished, and │ │ where Flatcat's punk tends to be somewhat pop, their music is definitely │ │ rock! The backing vocals have more street appeal, but still emphasise │ │ the band's toying with American punk. │ │ │ │ The split-CD is kind of short, with both bands providing eleven minutes, │ │ but as a snapshot of high quality punk rock, it must be recommended to │ │ everyone into that kind of music. You will be surprised at how small │ │ Belgium excels at the important things in life: soccer, punk and French │ │ fries! │ │ │ │ Enjoy another GREAT release from SRN!!! │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ _______ __ _____ __ __ │ │ |_ _|.----.---.-.----.| |--.| |_|__|.-----.| |_ │ │ | | | _| _ | __|| < | | ||__ --|| _| │ │ |___| |__| |___._|____||__|__||_______|__||_____||____| │ │ │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ │ │ 01 - Flatcat - Hear Tonight [02:48] │ │ 02 - Flatcat - Nothing To Prove [03:14] │ │ 03 - Flatcat - Wait And See [02:33] │ │ 04 - Flatcat - Anniversary Song [02:20] │ │ 05 - Five Days Off - Been There Done That [03:54] │ │ 06 - Five Days Off - The Message [02:53] │ │ 07 - Five Days Off - Kill The Fire [02:09] │ │ 08 - Five Days Off - Twenty For Seven (06:40 P.M.)
