Here at Dying Scene, we’ve been talking a lot behind the scenes about how to maximize our content—not only covering more, but covering better.

Here at Dying Scene, we’ve been talking a lot behind the scenes about how to maximize our content—not only covering more, but covering better. We’ll be making some changes to our output in the coming months, and the end goal will be to provide our writers with more opportunities to write in-depth reviews, editorials, and interviews. Part of this is adapting our review format—there is simply too much out there to cover and full-length reviews just aren’t time effective. That doesn’t mean we’re getting rid of longform reviews (we’d rather die), only that when we do them, we’ll be investing more in them and treating them as we would a feature. For the rest, we want to cover the multitude of bands that are working hard out there but might get squashed under the great wheel of the album submissions game. Short-form reviews—as short and loud as punk itself—will be a way for us to cover more while still providing honest, dependable feedback. Let us know what you think of the new format, we plan to roll out capsule reviews as they accumulate from here on out.
The Netherlands’ Bony Macaroni is a new-to-me band that caught my ear almost instantly. Pop punk is a perennial presence in the punk scene, and boy, have we seen it go through its paces. From The Buzzcocks to the Ramones, from the Descendants to Green Day, from Direct Hit! to Off With Their Heads—with dozens of permutations in between. Bony Macaroni is closer to the Remo Drive, Graduating Life, Modern Baseball strain—sad and introspective, unrepentantly boyish in demeanor, with a hint of folk punk brashness—and deeply indebted to emo.
EP opener, “Piece of Shit,” is sure to grab most listeners with its bouncy melody and self-deprecating lyrics. “Doom” is dynamic, with arpeggios and soft woah-ohs that explode into a rousing chorus. Bony Macaroni has some killer songwriting throughout its five songs, culminating in the melancholy “Bony the Philosopher.” Coupled with exuberant energy, Bony Macaroni’s five songs go a long way.

There are just too many bands now. Too many albums releasing every week, everything streaming on bandcamp and spotify. We just can’t cover them all anymore. You don’t need that. What you need is somebody you trust to tell you which of the many new punk albums released every week are worth your time. Enter […]

Enter Milan, Italy’s Drawing Dead, a four-piece punk outfit who just put out a self-titled 7-inch via One Chord Wonder Records that is absolutely worth a spin for any fans of Ramones influenced pop-punk. Try it out below.
SkyTigers claim to hail from “parts unknown” and that could apply as much to their genre distinction as it could to their regional origins. Citing influences from Motorhead to Iron Maiden the thrash/metal influence is obvious from the get go but the vocals and overall delivery feels distinctly punk rock, perhaps in the vein of […]
SkyTigers claim to hail from “parts unknown” and that could apply as much to their genre distinction as it could to their regional origins. Citing influences from Motorhead to Iron Maiden the thrash/metal influence is obvious from the get go but the vocals and overall delivery feels distinctly punk rock, perhaps in the vein of Comeback Kid. They’re raw, fast, angry, and in terms of their new EP “Disasterbation,” they’re free. If you’re looking for something to listen to next time you want to destroy something this is for you. Give the album a listen and snag it for free on bandcamp.

I’m always on the lookout for rhythmic, melodic post-hardcore to make a comeback. You know what I’m talking about. Stuff that resides somewhere between Fugazi, NoMeansNo, Hot Water Music, and At the Drive-In. Aggressive, angular, creative, and singable.
Agador Spartacus hail from Hamburg, Germany and have come out swinging with the sort of EP that can’t help but turn heads. These guys are killing it with twisty, riffy tracks of guitar-centric post-hardcore that aren’t afraid of big choruses and big atmosphere. Agastonishing is a gun-metal cool release that deserves to be dug up from under the radar.
“Living Slow/Dying Hard” is fueled with stuttering guitars that switch gears to fuzzed out Snapcase riffs in the blink of an eye, its chorus providing a primal scream-along in the form of its title. “My Beautiful Mind” is another absolute banger, with perhaps the catchiest hook of the album. But this is picking glints from a bucket of gold, Agastonishing is an impressive EP that hooks from the start and then never stops hooking.
