Isolation - Reach Out

    


  One band that have been proving popular on recent Just Some Punk Songs shows (so popular I'll be featuring them again next week) have been Falmouth trio Isolation. They feature Charlie Murphy (who's band Freak Genes have just released a rather good new album called Hologram which you can get here : https://freakgenes.bandcamp.com/album/hologram) on guitar & vocals, Rob Camp on bass & vocals and Jo House on drums.

  One thing about featuring so many bands on here is that I'll start writing out an update and then realise I've featured them before. In this instance I posted a track by Isolation from their 2019 debut ep where I sounded pretty impressed  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/12/isolation-bad-data.html

  If anything this new release is even better with several of the 5 tracks on offer vying for the title of "most impressive song." Whereas the Bandcamp tags for the debut ep were suggesting we were listening to dark punk and goth (my review mentioned I didn't entirely agree... "don't let that fool you into thinking they're serving up an atmospheric gloom fest"), this time around the tags are for hardcore punk and punk rock which I think is a bit nearer the mark but still not totally accurate. It is hard hitting but there's plenty of hooks for you to hitch your wagon too. It's one of my favourite eps of the year and it's available in 7" teal vinyl (ltd to 250 copies) from Crew Cuts Records :  https://crewcutsrecords.limitedrun.com/

  For the digital version head this way... https://isolationfal.bandcamp.com/album/fabric-tear

  So, my favourite track. Probably this. It's called Reach Out...
