(https://www.facebook.com/luckymalice/) excellent new album Magnetic as I'd already featured the title track back in February (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/09/lucky-malice-magnetic.html) and I'd hope everyone who visits this blog has the good sense to have already checked it out. Just in case you need a little encouragement, don't just take my word as to how good it is, read what Nathan Brown over at Louder Than War has to say (https://louderthanwar.com/lucky-malice-magnetic-album-review/).

  But having said all that, there's a track on the album that deserves singling out for special praise. It's got both an important message and a tune that you won't be able to get out of your head. It's a definite song of the year contender so it's getting posted today. 

  If you haven't yet got the album, it's available as a name your price download so go get it now :  https://kraftpest.bandcamp.com/album/magnetic 

  My highlight is this, it's called Revolt... 

Gathering forces, let's fight the rotten. The words we spoke aren't making the fuzz we want. One shout together will not be disclaimed Make sure the past is not forgotten. I'm standing with you pushing them down. Revolting No nazi scum in our streets. We claim we are stronger. We claim we are fearless. No frames or borders are sculpting our views. When people around us are dropping like flies, our voices need to be louder. No nazis, no nazis, we want no nazis in our streets.

  

Lucky Malice - Magnetic

    I like you by my side
  Your magnetic power is hard to decline... 

  Lucky Malice (https://www.facebook.com/luckymalice/) are the riot grrrl punk trio from Halden in Norway who formed in 2004 and who've released 3 albums plus a split lp with fellow Norwegians Danger!Man. The most recent of those albums was the excellent Misfit and you can snap it up as a name your price download here : https://kraftpest.bandcamp.com/album/misfit

  Featuring a line up of Karine Brække (drums/vocals), Linda Haug (guitar/vocals) & Hanna Fauske (bass/vocals), they've just released a new single. It's a catchy but uncompromising pop punk delight, energetic with plenty of melody, it's "a maybe-it-will-be-love song about the careless and unstable time, before we put the labels and frames on a relationship." It's also the title track of their upcoming album and from today it'll be streaming on all digital music platforms as well as being made available for download name your price https://kraftpest.bandcamp.com/music

   It's called Magnetic...

Surfing on a wave of questions no one really will ask or answer.
Tan in your sunshine, keep the right to turn my back
and walk my way.

Get down and dirty, forget about the outcome.
No limitations.

Sometimes I wish I knew all about your covered hopes and intentions.
But maybe the clear air might ruin everything.

Get down and dirty, forget about the outcome.
No expectations.

I like you by my side.
Your magnetic power is hard to decline.
Even though we're label free and not short of time,
I can't but feel there's a blurry deadline.

Every time I want to be flirty and show my admiration - I draw back.
Body Language, the only language.
Sunglasses on I can't see your shade.

I like you by my side.
Your magnetic power is hard to decline.
I want you by my side,
But I can’t help feeling
there’s a blurry deadline.

  Norwegian riot grrrl punks Lucky Malice graced the Just Some Punk Songs best of 2016 chart with a wonderful song that featured on their split album with DANGER!MAN. ( If you're very quick you can snap that album up on coloured vinyl for £1 in the Boss Tunage sale  http://bosstuneage.bigcartel.com/product/the-boss-tuneage-festive-vinyl-lp-sale )

  Today I'm more than happy to post a song from their brand new album, Misfit. There's a video to every song on Youtube and you can grab the album name your price from Bandcamp.... https://kraftpest.bandcamp.com/album/lucky-malice-misfit. I've only had time for a quick listen but hell, it's good. Definitely one to grace the car stereo for the next few trips to work.

  Watch out for them on their current European tour, you can check out the dates here : https://www.facebook.com/luckymalice/app/123966167614127/


  Will they feature in the best of 2017 chart? I'm thinking it's highly likely. There were several contenders to fill the space below but I'm going with Keeping A Secret......

Lucky Malice - Side by Side

  Earlier this year i posted a song by Norwegian band Danger!man which was taken from the split ep with fellow Norwegians Lucky Malice (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/dangerman-never-black-never-white.html). If you've ever listened to former Dr And The Crippens bassist Wayne Elliott's excellent Pulsebeat show you'd have probably heard him playing the ep as it's safe to say it's definitely one of his favourite releases from 2016. If you've not so far been lucky enough to discover the ep then it's your lucky day as you can snap it up name your price on the Tonehjulet Kraftpest Bandcamp page : https://kraftpest.bandcamp.com/album/handicap

   Anyway, it's about time that I posted a song from the Lucky Malice section of the ep so here goes....

  Forming in 2004 and hailing from the town of Halden in Norway, Lucky Malice are a passionate feminist punk trio who's line up features Karine Braekke (drums/vocals), Linda Haug (guitar/vocals) and Hanna Fauske (bass/vocals). Their releases include an ep (Young And Breathless (2008)), a couple of splits (one with Gottemia in 2010 and this years split with Danger!man) and 2 albums (Homme Fatale (2012), Lucky Malice (2013)).

  If you check out their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/luckymalice/) you'll notice that they've got enough new songs ready to start recording a new album so watch out for that.

  In the meantime, from the split ep with Danger!man, this is Side By Side.....
