 Glamour has no reason to exist because I Cani are not just any band.

 Glamour is a mediocre album, and I would even go as far as to say it’s unnecessary because it’s neither here nor there.

Glamour by I Cani fails to live up to the disruptive originality that characterized their debut. While attempting a more intimate and scene-driven approach, it settles into standard electro-pop territory. The reviewer finds the album mediocre and unnecessary, noting a loss of the previous artistic edge. Some tracks retain charm, but overall the growth feels boring and uninspired. Discover if Glamour lives up to I Cani’s legacy—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 Endkadenz means and justifies Wow, in its fragmentary experimentation and its 26 tracks.

 The drums are often electronic; choirs and piano have now been sanctioned and assimilated.

Verdena's Endkadenz Vol. 1 showcases a gritty, slow-paced and experimentally rich sound that distinguishes it from previous albums like Requiem and Wow. The album incorporates lo-fi elements, electronic drums, and new instruments, offering a complex yet cohesive listening experience. Notable tracks include the single 'Un po’ esageri' and the ballad 'Nevischio,' while lyrics remain secondary but effective. This album serves as both a sequel and a justification to the earlier Wow, with a promising follow-up expected in summer 2015. Listen to Verdena’s Endkadenz Vol. 1 now and experience its bold and experimental rock evolution!

 Clark falters due to a theme not easy to narrate, perhaps beyond his usual chords but still very much alive today.

 Often there is an impression of aesthetics, a mannerism, when watching very long scenes of skate tricks, which seem extracted from a Vans promotional video.

Larry Clark's Wassup Rockers attempts to portray Latino skater teens navigating a social divide between South Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Using raw, documentary-like style and improvised dialogue, the film aims to capture adolescent realities with punk and skateboarding culture at its core. However, the heavy emphasis on background elements, clichéd plot points, poor acting, and an implausible storyline weaken the impact. Clark's approach fails to deliver a mature, cohesive narrative on pressing social issues. Discover the raw, gritty world of Larry Clark's Wassup Rockers—watch the film to decide if its bold style outweighs its narrative flaws.

 'Auff!!' is a thoroughly enjoyable album.

 Only seemingly an album for the summer, rather an interesting Italian project.

The review initially tested preconceptions but ultimately praises 'Auff!!' by Management del Dolore Post-Operatorio as a varied and meaningful Italian indie rock album. It highlights the blend of classic English indie/new wave sounds with a strong, Italian punk attitude. Lyrically, the album provides ironic, critical, and socially aware content. Vocalist Luca Romagnoli's passionate performance stands out, making this album a project with depth and worth following. Explore 'Auff!!' to discover an Italian indie rock album full of energy, social insight, and fresh punk attitude!

 The album presents itself as an interesting fusion of '80s sounds (with the evident influence of Joy Division) and modern melodies.

 Patent Pending is an extremely enjoyable album, where Skiba’s excellent ability to produce introspective lyrics with great emotional impact is once again demonstrated.

Heavens' Patent Pending is a unique side project by Matt Skiba and Josiah Steinbrick blending '80s dark pop and modern alternative rock. The album features drum machines, synth sounds, and introspective lyrics. It explores moods from upbeat riffs to melancholic crescendos. This 2006 release showcases Skiba's creative versatility outside his punk roots, offering a fresh and emotional listening experience. Listen to Heavens' Patent Pending and experience a rich blend of ’80s dark pop with modern alternative rock vibes!

 The formula used by the band is always the same: indie/power pop with synth insertions and a characteristic guitar sound, which is pleasant even if not very original.

 In short, an album that adds nothing and indeed downsizes the Wombats a bit, whose debut album was lively and enjoyable.

The Wombats' second album, 'This Modern Glitch,' leans heavily on synths and a glossy production style, departing from the deeper guitar sound of their debut. While the album is listenable, it feels more commercial and less creative, resulting in a somewhat boring experience compared to their lively, enjoyable first record. Listen to 'This Modern Glitch' and decide if The Wombats' synth-driven evolution appeals to you!

 You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine is a fundamental album, synthesizing the sound of many 90s scenes and a precursor to many 2000s music movements.

 'Sexy Results' can be considered a masterpiece: a perfect dance-punk piece, fast-paced and catchy.

Death From Above 1979's 'You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine' is a groundbreaking indie rock album from 2004. Combining noise rock, garage, and dance-punk, the Canadian duo created a powerful and innovative sound ahead of its time. The album bridges 90s influences with emerging 2000s styles, featuring intense riffs, driving drums, and electronic elements. Tracks like 'Romantic Rights' and 'Sexy Results' showcase its lasting impact and dance-punk appeal. A fundamental listen for fans of indie and alternative rock. Listen to 'You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine' and explore this pioneering indie rock gem now!

 "The Dead Formats know what they’re doing!"

 "Step It Up represents the direction the Dead Formats should head towards: a greater fusion of genres and more alternative sound."

The Dead Formats, an English punk/hardcore band, release a six-track mini-album full of energetic and well-crafted songs. Their vocal interplay and genre fusion stand out, especially in tracks like "Step It Up." Although not groundbreaking, the album is enjoyable and shows promise for future releases. The sound recalls bands like Rancid and Outcry Collective, appealing to fans of the UK punk scene. Listen to The Dead Formats’ energetic punk mini-album and explore their unique vocal interplay and genre fusion!
