Punter - A Years Silence

  


  Have you a decent memory? Do you remember back in January 2020 when I posted a song by hot new Aussie punk juggernauts Punter from their demo ep and remarked that "there's plenty of melody in there but the band are kicking and punching the shit out of it."  I rounded off the post by saying "I'm hoping we hear plenty more from them." That song was titled A minute's Silence. 
Today we're being treated to A Year's Silence... 

  Punter are from Melbourne and they fucking rule. They're releasing a debut 12" on Drunken Sailor Records. It's described as being "Punk Rock for the Herberts. Pissed up lyrics, RIFFS, pogo punk taking influences from Motorhead, The Blood, The Kids, Blitz and UK82." It's aggressive, energetic hardcore still full of those melodies that the band oh, so enjoy kicking and punching the shit out of. Demo highlight A minute's Silence makes a welcome return accompanied by 5 new tracks that more than fulfil that early promise. It's streaming here and you can also get those pre orders in for the upcoming vinyl variants : https://drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/st-12-2

  A beast of a track that stomps all over anything else you might listen to today, this is A Years Silence...
