Teenage Bottlerocket
Tales From Wyoming
Rise Records
Sometimes, the biggest joys in life are the most straightforward, uncomplicated ones. The great thing about Wyoming quartet Teenage Bottlerocket is that they don’t fuck around, not wasting a single chord or word over the 35-odd minutes of Tales From Wyoming (their sixth record), and no end of great tunes.
Seriously, those tunes – they don’t half stick in your head. These guys play melodic punk rock in a similar vein to the Ramones, Misfits and Screeching Weasel; with few songs clocking in past the three-minute mark, and all the important topics – girls, horror movies, insanity, heavy metal heroes, comic book villains, etc. – covered. Watch the video for ‘They Call Me Steve’ below.

Metz share new album track

Opening with a token shotgun snare roll its business as usual with Alex Edkins’ relentless, throat shredding, mantra spat all over this riff-ridden little ditty. There’s a twisted guitar solo chucked in there too, get some below and catch them live in London at The Underworld on June 16th with support from Bad Breeding.
Metz II is due May 5th via Sub Pop.
