Fraser of The Murderburgers has picked up his axe again, writing and recording music under the Wrong Life moniker. Following two EPs, Wrong Life’s self-titled debut LP dropped this week – a co-release by five trusted suppliers of quality punkrock: Brassneck (UK\/EU) & Rad Girlfriend (US) have the LP-release. Limited Fun (UK\/EU) and Waterslide (Japan) do the CD-release, and finally, Cat’s Claw (UK\/EU) have the record on Tape.<\/p>\n
If that is not a stamp of approval, I’m not sure what is. And indeed, fans of melodic and poppy punk rock should take note of this record. The Wrong Life<\/em> LP for me was a bit like sitting on a train taking up speed. It took me a couple of songs to get into it, but once it gets going it’s smooth sailing. Perhaps this is personal, but the sequencing made me enjoy this LP a little more with each track.<\/p>\n There was a time when I wrote about melodic punkrock hardly at all, and now twice in one day.<\/a> And earlier this year as well with releases by Vanilla Blue<\/a>, Mark Murphy and The Meds<\/a>, Tweejy<\/a> and Hummin’ Bird<\/a>. It’s only February but this looks to be a great year for this brand of punk rock. I like it!<\/p>\n
