SPB: If you had to introduce someone to good music, which five records would be included in the homework assignment you'd give them?
Coen: Something new, something old?
We've been listening a lot to the new record by fellow Dutch punkrockers Antillectual. Their new album Together has been well worth the 7 year wait and sounds really fresh. It's a nice evolution of the punkrock they've been known for. Besides, they're some of the nicest people in the punkrock scene. They deserve every shout out possible.
Secondly, I would say we're madly in love with the new Samiam record (Stowaway). It features some of the catchiest choruses we've heard in a long time.
Our German compadres in Baxter also released a new record that we would really like to recommend. Between Punk And Bourgeoisie features 14 foot on the gas punkrock songs. Give it a spin!
An all-time classic has to be London by Apologies I Have None. An album I keep on coming back to. It just gets better and better. Only anthems. Perfection.
Same goes for On The Impossible Past by The Menzingers. I saw them in concert a few times last week and was happy to find out that they included songs from this album in their set. Loved it!
