“The Horrors Of Adulting “, from Lot Lizards, is an absolute melodic triumph that doesn’t let for a second. High energy punk perfection.

Blending explosive energy, sharp lyricism, and a healthy dose of existential dread, The Horrors of Adulting is a 12-track punk rock blitz that covers everything from self-destruction (“Surprise Party”) to moral fatigue (“Good Intentions”) and escapist daydreams (“Great Escapes”).

Our first full-length record, The Horrors of Adulting, is about exactly what it sounds like,” says frontman Jon Barnes. “Being an adult is shitty most of the time. We were so fucking stupid for wanting it so bad when we were younger. If we only knew what a pain in the ass it would be…”

The album —while injecting a fresh urgency and Southern grit.

“The Horrors Of Adulting “, from Lot Lizards, is overflowing with punk rock goodness. However, if we had to pick our favorite song, it would without question be “Explosive Heart Syndrome “. Lot Lizards hit a punk rock home run with this song .

We recently had the absolutely amazing opportunity to check out the debut album “One Cut Away From Love” via Punkerton Records from Jacksonville,Florida based punks , KNIVES.

You can listen to “One Cut Away From Love “ Here . You can order the LP (Vinyl/CD ) Here

First things first…. We freaking love absolutely everything about KNIVES. We love the sound the vibe …. EVERYTHING. These guys ( Danny Attack – Vocals/Guitar Brendan Morrison – Screams/Guitar Adam Johnson – Bass
Josh Kidd – Drums) ) are the real deal and then some. The combination vocals of Danny Attack and screams of Brendan Morrison, make KNIVES one of the most versatile punk bands out there.

KNIVES was originally meant to be a one-show project. But the self-proclaimed “boys of summer” quickly realized they were onto something more. Soon after, they added Josh Kidd (Drums) and Adam Johnson (Bass) to complete the lineup. With soul-baring lyrics, blood-curdling screams, infectious grooves, and catchy melodies, the sky is the limit for this up-and-coming pop-punk juggernaut.

We were in pure punk rock bliss, as we made our through “One Cut Away From Love” Every song hit just right, half way through listening our fingers got tired from hitting repeat so many times.

“Moments”, “KNVS, “Oh This Sin Of Mine” are just a few of our favorite tracks. If we had to pick our favorite ( So hard to do) it would without a doubt be “Ghost”. “Ghost “ is KNIVES at their absolute hands downs best.

Do Yourself a favor and check out “One Cut Away From Love “ from KNIVES, you will be in punk rock heaven.
