I Textbook sono un quartetto di Chicago che ho scoperto solo di recente nonostante i primi lavori siano datati 2000, e All messed up è rappresenta il 5° album.
Preso un po’ dalla curiosità, ho ascoltato anche i lavori precendenti e cazzo, devo dire che fino ad adesso mi sono perso proprio una grande band!
I Textbookfondamentalmente fanno un pop punk mooooolto poppettoso (strizzando un’occhio ai Get Up Kids per intenderci, anche se in alcuni frangenti mi ricordano anche i Copyrights) lontano da essere noioso e banale, questo fa si che anche l’ascolto di All messed up scorre sempre piacevole per tutta la sua durata. Ad impreziosire un disco di per sé già bello, ci pensano le illustri collaborazioni con Jeff Pezzati (Naked Raygun) in Everything I’m Not e Dan Vapid (devo dirvi dove suona/ha suonato? Dai!) in Just One Of Those Things e We’ll Grow Old. Tra le mie preferite, segnalo la già citata Everything I’m Not e Looking after me.
Volete il disco? Lo trovate, come sempre, su Striped Music oppure potete rivolgervi direttamente alla Torture Chamber Records. Li vedremo in Italia? Spero proprio di si.
Here we are with the last review of the first battle of the bands.
The Textbook are Chicago quartet that I honestly discovered just recently, despite early works are dated 2000, and All messed up is the 5th album. Due of my curiosity, I also heard the previous works and fuck, I must say that until now I have lost simply a great band!
The Textbookbasically do a pop punk veeeeery poppy (blinking an eye to the Get Up Kids although in some circumstances they remind me also The Copyrights) far from being boring or obvious, this means that listening to All messed up runs for its entire duration is always a pleasure.
To embellish a record which is already beautiful, we think the illustrious collaborations with Jeff Pezzati (Naked Raygun) in Everything I’m Not and Dan Vapid (Should I tell you where he plays/played? Come on!) In Just One Of Those Things and We’ll Grow Old.
Among my favorites, point out the aforementioned Everything I’m Not and Looking after me.
Do you want the cd? Striped Music have it, or you can contact directly to the Torture Chamber Records. Can we have the chance to see the band in Italy? I really hope so.
