This is a very promising debut record that is down to earth, humour injected and will get you moving too. You get the feeling the band won't really care what some review says though from the line " I ain't looking for respect or rewards / please talk shit on your message boards," which is fantastic and about as punk as oh I don't know, yelling "fuckyouoioioi." Due to this and a few non-distinct guitar melodies there are a number of songs that just don't stick. The record does fail to deliver in some respects such as the lyrics, where Colin's heart is in the right place talking about a range of topics from the working stiff, greed and an unwanted pregnancy but sometimes the actual words themselves fall flat. However one of the real strengths of the band for me was the drumming there is some rhythms on this that will undoubtedly shake the body politic.
While a lot of the songs have a throwback flavour the band plays slivers of a more modern melodic punk flair at times during songs like "Carbon Heart Radio" and "Hell Awaits Hostage Life."Īll in all, vocalist Colin still has a great sneering voice to lead the band and the guitar playing is effective throughout the release. Some really solid guitar work is displayed throughout the album, such as the solo on the single "This Song Was Written by a Committee." The band really works best when they try a more straight-up mid-paced old-school rockân'roll sound, such as on "How to Die with a Smile" or "The Quietest Mutiny." Those two songs cover a similar territory to what One Man Army and the Ducky Boys have done in the past.

While a Clash influenced street punk vibe that Rancid seems to love can be readily found in the guitar progressions and socio-political lyrics, there are a few different tricks the band comes up with throughout that keep things fresh.

Like those bands, Hostage Life contains alumni from Toronto's mid-to-late `90s melodic punk stalwarts, Marilyn's Vitamins. Their label, Underground Operations holds amongst their lackluster releases albums by Bombs Over Providence and Dead Letter Debt., which have been mediocre to downright bad. I'd say I had to agree when listening to the debut full-length by Hostage Life. While there aren't many novel ideas presented by Walking Papers, fans of sprawling guitar solos, unfiltered bravado, and expert songcraft will find much to appreciate on WP2."Don't judge an album by its label" is the type of saying that seems to get thrown around a lot in the world of punk. Despite this being a straightforward rock blast, those subtle hints of early U2 pop up multiple times, from the slow-burning "Red & White" and the theatrics of "Before You Arrived" down to the harmonies and rhythm on "Yours Completely." Elsewhere, the band gets wild on the rollicking "Somebody Else" and elicits a visceral yearning on the crunchy "This Is How It Ends." Of all the pleasing doses of testosterone-drenched rock, "King Hooker" is a highlight that snakes and grooves with an addictive outlaw flair. Formed by Jeff Angell (vocals, guitar) of The Missionary Position and. Frontman Jeff Angell's voice carries the project, his gritty delivery reminiscent of Bono filtered through the murk of Mark Lanegan. Walking Papers is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2012. Improving upon their first with polished production and a livelier vigor, WP2 is blues-drenched rock that fans of Queens of the Stone Age and Screaming Trees should enjoy. Recorded in early 2015 - shortly after wrapping up touring behind their self-titled debut - WP2 arrived three years later in 2018, due to bassist Duff McKagan's obligations with his other band, Guns N' Roses.
This helps in effortlessly pusing the fabric through the feed dogs making it wayyyy easier to sew with tricky fabrics. The first most important tool, is a walking sewing machine foot. Packed with enough dirty guitar riffs to fill a smoky roadside bar, Walking Papers' second album, WP2, is another dose of no-nonsense rock & roll from the Seattle-based group. To sew perfectly with a vinyl, you would need some special tools and notions.
