Do you love old school, catchy as fuck pop punk music? From the likes of Ramones, Screeching Weasel, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Queers, Chixdiggit!, Teen Idols, The Methadones, The Riverdales, The Apers, The Dopamines, The Copyrights????
Welcome to your new favourite band...
Florida Men (https://www.facebook.com/FloridaMenPunkRock/) are a trio from Leeuwarden in The Netherlands whose line up features members of Sun-0-Bathers, Smashed Out, 10 To Go and Age & Mistakes. That line up is Jurjen de Vries (Vocals & Bass), Jouke Rispens (Guitar) & Evert Ane Abma (Drums). They formed last year and have just released a debut Self Titled album. It's available via Morning Wood Records and you can get it here :
These guys don't fuck around, the album's dozen songs are super infectious and totally fat free (only one of them sneaks past the 2 minute mark). You'll blast through the album and want to stick it on again. The influences are obvious, it's nothing we've not heard before but who cares! It's great stuff and a very impressive debut.
My favourite track? It's a close call but I'm going to go with this desperate plea for a second chance. It's called Threw It All Away...
