Horrorpops
- Kiss Kiss Kill Kill
The Danish born, Los Angeles based pop-punk trio
the Horrorpops are back with their third full length
studio album 'Kiss Kiss Kill Kill' an album which
will be released on Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's
Hellcat record label, a label where the majority
of the bands have a raw old skool shouty punk sound
and simply all sound the same, however their are
a few gems on the label and the Horrorpops happen
to be one of them, they are different sounding than
any other band from the label and each and everyone
of their songs sounds a lot different from the last.
'Kiss Kiss Kill Kill' kicks off with the really
upbeat 'Thelma And Louise’; the song is
one of the highlights from the album and is so
infectious. 'Miss Fit' starts off with some Rancid
ska-style bass line and once again the song builds
up to be a really catchy number and ends up sounding
so much like Madness 'Our House' which can only
be a good thing. 'Boot2Boot' is a more top of
your voice shouty track that makes the band sound
like they have been working alongside the Distillers.
'Highway55' sounds quite similar to the Canadian
gonzo band The Vincent Black Shadows and is another
one of the highlight tracks from the album, fast
in pace and quality in sound. Towards the end
of the album it gets instrumental for 3 minutes
and 8 seconds for 'HorrorBeach Pt. 2'
The last few songs on the album happen to be
my favourite songs with 'Copenhagen Refugee' being
my favourite, after just a couple of lyrics you
will find yourself singing the following lyrics
repetitively till it drives you mad. "I haven’t
changed, im still the same, im just a Copenhagen
refugee, you found love, I found hope as a Copenhagen
refugee'. 'Keep My Picture' starts off quite ska
sounding and is another really happy sounding
catchy song.
The Horrorpops offer pretty much everything on
their third studio album 'Kiss Kiss Kill Kill'
and it’s easily to see why the album has
been so hotly anticipated. If you like ska, punk,
pop and rockabilly then you will without a doubt
like this album, it has enough variety to appeal
to pretty much anyone.
