Our latest Dying Scene Band Spotlight takes us to the capital of Hungary, where we meet Budapest’s Bankrupt! This four piece punk band has been around over 25 years, and they just released an awesome new record called Illiberal Holiday. Most people compare bands to like… Green Day and Blink 182 or some shit, but I’m weird so I’ll pull some weird comps out of my ass. Bankrupt reminds me of mi6 and Limp; hopefully those names ring a few bells! If you’re a fan of really catchy mid-tempo melodic punk, that’s what these guys play.
At first I was disappointed that all the songs on Illiberal Holiday were sung in Hungarian. I don’t know Hungarian! But then I found out there’s an English version of the record, too – so that’s cool. Check out both versions below, along with the bitchin’ music video for the album’s title track. Then head over to Bankrupt’s Bandcamp to check out their back catalog and buy their music.
