Masshysteri

24 Hours

A new post after a long time! I was looking forward to this show and I had great expectations as Masshysteri consists members from The Vicious which I really loved! Thankfully my expectations were proven right plus I got to see 24 Hours again and they were fuckin' great for once more! On to the show now...first were Teenheat who in my opinion just copy the Ramones,I never liked the Ramones and I don't like bands who copy them,plain and simple! Anyway,people seemed to enjoy their set so I'll just shut up! I took no pics of them 'cause I had some other stuff to take care. 24 Hours were next and although the sound wasn't that good they managed to get their feeling of their music out.Last time I compared them to Hot Water Music,I was way wrong They are more of a garage-rock band with some bits of punk and with a lot of melodic guitar parts.I really like the singers' voice,it fits perfectly! Masshysteri started really energetic and got everyone dancing to their pop-ish punk tunes from the middle of the first song! Very tight as a band and with a very personal sound,something hard to accomplish in this genre! They even played two songs from The Vicious,Walking Dead (my favorite!) and Masshysteri. The people were cheering for more songs after their set and they played four more songs and called it a night.Even for a fairly new band they had a lot of songs! Closing I must say that I was surprised to see that a lot of people showed up to the show while at the same time there were 2 more shows going on! Disorder played last night too (yes,the Disorder from the U.K) and there was also the Legalize it festival (a free fest for the legalization of weed!). Until next time.....stay punk fuckers!

Bad Trip

Carbonaras

24 Hours

Last nights' shows was a blast! I never had the chance to see any of these bands before and i must admit that all of them fuckin' rocked! First on the bill were 24 Hours,a great kinda new band from Athens.I can't exactly describe their sound but I'll try! Mid-tempo,rock (or is it post-rock?) with some punk leanings and many melodies in the guitar section.Like Hot Water Music without the hardcore influences! Next were Carbonaras from Thessaloniki,their sound is somewhere between 60's psychedelic rock and surf rock'n'roll! They bring to mind the almighty Man Or Astro-man? These guys know how to play their instruments! Last were Bad Trip,another band from Thessaloniki (there's got to be something in the water in this city! So many great bands). Post-hardcore at it's best! They take a lot of elements from bands like Isis (Oceanic,Celestial era) and Neurosis but add a personal feeling that comes out great! Maybe it was the samples they used (noisy,ambient,echo) that added great to the mix. One last thing: Bad Trips' drummer has some real issues with his drum set! He almost destroyed everything!

Hangovers rule!!!
