Corker - Distant Dawn (Guest Review By Paul Charles Hammond)

  


  Last September, regular contributor Ralph Rivera recommended we check out A Fitting Compensation by Corker "possibly the MOST "Modern" sounding record of 2023."    https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/09/corker-fitting-compensation-guest.html

  Today, Punk AF (https://www.mixcloud.com/punkafradio/) host Paul Hammond is equally impressed by the band's follow up release...

  A couple of hours before doing my Punk AF show this week I got several ‘Bandcamp’ notifications about new releases. This late in the day I would normally roll these into the following week but this time I decided to check a few out. I saw that ‘Corker’ from Cincinnati had released a new track called ‘Distant Dawn’.

  I’ve heard and played the band before and thought they were OK, the album ‘Falser Truths’ was a mixed bag of cross genres and styles without any defining identity for me. ‘Distant Dawn’ blew me away instantly, 3 minutes of fast paced, guitar driven punk rock, full of hooks and very well produced. This is a very distinctive defining sound and I hope this is the direction they go.

  Their Bandcamp says it’s a first taste of their new album coming this year. If this track is anything to go by then, like the band name it will be a corker! https://corker.bandcamp.com/track/distant-dawn
