Nate Dionne Announces Fantasy EP; Shares In Blood

June 16, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This Nate Dionne tune is definitely a great way to kick off a Friday, if we might. The song’s got this old-school punk swagger to it, though there’s this modern rambunctiousness to the songwriting that brings a whole new life to the track. The gang vocals in the background seem to add this almost live nature to it, creating this atmosphere of joyousness and punk house frivolity. Still, there’s also this melodic bit, and I’m probably way off base here, but I keep hearing like a mix of Billy Idol meets “Head On” by the JaMC, so there’s also this sort of nod to everything before, while still keeping it punk. Fantasy will be out on Jul 25th via Gentle Reminder and Home Late.

Repo Fam Share Dark Vision Video

April 15, 2021 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Repo Fam will be dropping their new Venus Fly album next week via Gentle Reminder/Home Late, and I wanted to make sure the Baltimore band were on your radar over here. When I first clicked play, I will admit that I thought I had the song pegged; I felt like I knew exactly where it was going. I was wrong, as the band take that sort of modern pop rock feel, and instead of pushing it in some formulaic manner where you drop the chorus in just the right spot, they defy that expectation, not even offering up a chorus at all. Instead, they draw you in with these brooding vocals and steady drum stomp; it gives the guitars room to flicker in the distance, offering discord and anxiety, or a “dark vision” if you will. Feels like a fun way to start off the day.
