We've been spoilt for new releases this week. The last few days on here have brought some of my favourite new songs of the year and today certainly doesn't disappoint.
Sore Points are a 3 piece from Vancouver who list amongst their influences the likes of Buzzcocks, Cock Sparrer, Damned, Blitz, Motorhead, Ramones and The Stranglers. Featuring Nervous Talk's Shane Grass (vocals/bass), Mitch Allen (guitar/vocals) and Trevor Racz (drums/vocals) their sound echos the early days of the London punk scene when the lines between punk and hardcore weren't as far apart as they are nowadays. Despite being fast and furious, their songs are still underpinned by catchy tunes. Aggression with pop sensibilities, street chants that'll get you tapping your feet and singing along.

Their 8 track 2016 demo and the Don't Wan't To ep from last year are both available here : https://sorepoints.bandcamp.com/
Their Self Titled debut album is out now on Deranged Records and it's bloody brilliant. 12 tracks, everyone a winner and certainly something you should check out. Love punk's golden era? Prefer modern day punk? It doesn't matter, you'll all love this... vinyl : http://www.derangedrecords.com/index.php/home/ digital : https://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sore-points
I'll be playing a different song on the Just Some Punk Songs show later today ( https://www.facebook.com/events/1339819089488400/ ) but as they've just released a video for another one of the songs I'll post that on here. This is Gone Away....
