Fresh - Merch Girl

  

  Tuneful London emo punks Fresh (https://www.facebook.com/freshpunks) have been turning out some of the best pop punk ditties for the best part of a decade and their excellent new single has been blasting out of my headphones several times this morning. 

  The band line up with Kathryn Woods (guitar/vocals), Joely Smith (guitar/vocals), George Phillips (bass/vocals/percussion) & Daniel Goldberg (drums) and they've a new ep out on April 19th. You can find more details here : https://freshpunks.bandcamp.com/album/merch-girl

  This is the title track, it's an earworm about aspiration. Don't just watch from the sidelines, get out there and do it yourself. It's called Merch Girl... 

Standing at the back of the room Wishing I could do what they do After all, I could play that guitar part better I could hit those drums much harder I could sing that song far louder But I’m just a merch girl I’m tired of living like this Letting people talk over me for years and years and year and years Gonna start doing things my way Gonna write a song with a voice so strong it knocks you sideways I’m not just a merch girl

Fresh - Revenge

 

  It's Sunday which means it's Just Some Punk Songs show day. Tune in at 8pm (gmt) to hear an hour's worth of great new music, including the song that I'm featuring on here today (Details and link here :   https://www.facebook.com/events/466833420739257/).

  Fresh are no strangers to this blog (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/09/fresh-bible-camp.html), they're the indie punk 4 piece from London who formed in 2015 and released a very impressive 2017 Self Titled album. Now they're back with a new album (and numerous gigs including a tour with Slingshot Dakota).

  The album's titled Withdraw, it features a dozen emotionally honest songs written by vocalist Kathryn Woods based on real life experiences. Alt pop influenced by the likes of Martha, ONSIND, Lemuria, Muncie Girls etc. Catchy but with an edge, razorblades wrapped in velvet. It's available on vinyl and cd from Specialist Subject Records and digitally...

  This song starts out gently before building into a joyous and passionate singalong. "I am valued I am loved, I will get revenge on everyone who's done me wrong..."  It's called Revenge...

Fresh - Bible Camp

 

  Fresh are from London, they formed in 2015 and they're a bit punky, a bit indie, a bit bloody good. Some of their songs are acoustic, some are a little bit noisier than that. They write about subjects such as depression, sexuality, exams and bible camp! Their frontwoman, Kathryn Woods, has a great voice. So check them out.

  May 2015 saw them release debut ep, Gewingchum, whilst the follow up, These Things Are Not That Fun, appeared later that year. Now on Specialist Subject Records, they recently released their self titled debut album and it's been the subject of a number of very positive reviews. Deceptively sweet tunes with bite are very much order of the day, lend them your ears....  https://freshpunks.bandcamp.com/album/fresh

  This is the shortest song on the album (I'll play a longer one on tomorrow's Just Some Punk Songs show https://www.facebook.com/events/481375472230526/), it's called Bible Camp.....
