Slick Shoes Wake Up Screaming Review

Slick Shoes' "Wake Up Screaming" is here to shake the cobwebs off your eardrums! Let's skate through this punk rock masterpiece that refuses to be just another background track to your daily grind.

"Wake Up Screaming": Not Your Average Lullaby

The Sound: A Sonic Rollercoaster

From the get-go, "Wake Up Screaming" grips you with the kind of energy that makes you want to jump on your bed—or better yet, into a mosh pit. The album is a harmonious chaos of rapid drum beats, bass lines that walk a tightrope between melody and madness, and guitar riffs that zigzag through your consciousness like lightning. It's as if the band decided that sleep is overrated and instead crafted a soundtrack for the sleepless.

Lyrics: Poetry in Motion

Punk rock isn't just about the noise; it's the voice of the restless and the misunderstood. Slick Shoes proves they've got plenty to say and the right decibel to be heard. The lyrics in "Wake Up Screaming" are a cocktail of introspection, societal commentary, and a pinch of punk rock rebellion. It's like reading a diary—only it's set to music and can be screamed at the top of your lungs.

Standout Tracks on "Wake Up Screaming"

While "Wake Up Screaming" parades a full roster of punk rock anthems, there are a few tracks that deserve a spotlight for their unique flair and audacious spirit:

  • "Angel": Strap in for a musical odyssey as "Angel" takes you on a ride with its captivating bass intro and a melody that sticks like glue. Often hailed as the album's crown jewel, this track is a vivid portrayal of Slick Shoes' signature blend of intensity and harmony. It's not just a song; it's an anthem that resonates with the band's fervent fanbase.
  • "Peace of Mind": Seamless in its transition from "Angel," "Peace of Mind" is a masterpiece in its own right. This track is a love letter to punk rock, serving up a mix of raw energy and a poignant sense of clarity. The ending is nothing short of a mic drop, cementing this song as a fan-favorite and a testament to the band's musical prowess.
  • "Have I Said Too Much?": If you're looking for a track to lift your spirits, look no further. "Have I Said Too Much?" is a whirlwind of joyous beats and infectious lyrics that compel you to sing along. It's a musical high five, a celebration of the band's ability to craft tracks that are as uplifting as they are compelling.
  • "Elisa": Kickstarting with an engaging intro, "Elisa" quickly ramps up the tempo, embracing the quintessential punk rock ethos of living life at full throttle. This track is a testament to the album's overarching theme of joy and vivacity, capturing the listener's imagination and refusing to let go.
  • "Don't Mess With Texas": A seamless continuation from "Elisa," this track is an auditory delight. With its practical use for tuning drums and its infectious rhythm, "Don't Mess With Texas" embodies the spirit of the album—bold, unapologetic, and incredibly handy!
  • "This is Your Life": Standing out for its harder, meaner edge, "This is Your Life" brings a unique flavor to the album. With group vocals and an unyielding intensity, this track is a stark contrast to the album's generally upbeat vibe, showcasing the band's versatility and willingness to explore the darker corners of punk rock.

Each of these tracks, with their distinctive rhythms and raw lyrical power, contribute to the fabric of "Wake Up Screaming," making it not just an album, but a punk rock journey worth embarking on.

10K Drops A Killer Track With Fresh White Tees

10K comes out swinging with the latest catchy hip hop song you’re going to absolutely love. I’ve heard a lot of rap and hip hop tracks this year already, but a lot of it is just boring. The rhymes are just repetition, or the words just get slurred across some mediocre beats. But this, this is pretty cool, 10K drops a story rhyme that is all out catchy, and fun. 10K goes across several different thoughts in just 2 minutes and 58 seconds of music, never letting up and continually processing consciousness with rhyming ability. You’ll get hit hard up front, and by the first chorus, you’re going to be singing along. This is the type of song that really showcases a good ear for beats, rhyme schematics, and professional flow. 10K is no slacker here, he throws down as many adjectives and ideas as he can without losing the audience. Often time’s when rappers have a lot to say, they speed it up and try too hard to spit out as many sentences as possible, but not here. Here it’s a bit laid...

2KX Create A Lavish Musical Framework Beyond Comparison

Image
I know it’s my job to compare musical acts and try to paint a picture as to what they are doing so that you can go and buy the record and check them out, but every now and again artists are beyond just one genre and above any simple terminology. It’s paying disservice for me to call the latest release from 2KX anything other than a masterpiece. Fronted by Lisa LaRue, this is a release of progressive rock and is like nothing I’ve heard in a long time. Yes, there are other prog rock bands out there, but this release is a cataclysmic exemplification of art, and not just music. With the release of “Sussuration”, you get elements of every type of musical genre, but it’s like a work of art, seamless in the integral elements that make this worth picking up. I was floored by the pieces, and really found myself in awe at the precision at which every element comes together. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and once you hear the record, you understand the pieces fit to make sure that this makes...

The Bloody Jug Band Launches A Contender For Best Record of 2015 With Rope Burn

Image
Best Album Art of 2015! As far as creative bands are concerned, The Bloody Jug Band just hit my radar with full force. This type of alternative rock music is one of the reasons why I love music in the first place. With their release of “Rope Burn”, they truly put down a record that is going to be on my top 10 records of 2015. It starts off a bit slow with “Volfkiller”, then it spirals out of control with some amazing elements. Mixing strong guitar driven melodies, interesting narratives in the lyrics, and strong vocals, this is a record that opens up like a horror movie and comes through with grindhouse precision, only a bit more polished. There’s a “country” vibe that you get from some of the tracks, but it seems to be more in the way the lyrics are delivered. Strong and story filled, you are going to want to close your eyes and pay attention to the words. There’s a lot going on here, a story that is very easy to follow with each hand. A strong blues and country mix with strong ...
