Some Kind Of Nightmare - Still Not Broken

Review by Rebekah Lou Taylor

Some Kind Of Nightmare's latest album, Still Not Broken, showcases the San Diego-based punk band's raw energy and unapologetic attitude. From the opening track, "Bastards of Young," to the closing anthem, "The End," the album is a relentless barrage of fast-paced, hard-hitting punk rock.

Lead singer and bassist, Chy, delivers his lyrics with a snarl and a sneer, while guitarist Matt and drummer Nick provide a frenetic backdrop of power chords and pounding rhythms. The band's DIY ethos is evident in the production values, which are intentionally rough and unpolished, giving the album a gritty, underground feel.

Tracks like "Destroy Everything" and "No Hope" are full of anger and frustration, while "Better Days" and "Never Give Up" offer a glimmer of hope and positivity amidst the chaos. The album's standout track, "Still Not Broken," is a defiant anthem that celebrates the band's resilience and refusal to give up in the face of adversity.

Summary by Rebekah Lou Taylor

Still Not Broken is a strong and uncompromising album that will appeal to fans of old-school punk and hardcore. Some Kind Of Nightmare may not be reinventing the wheel, but they're definitely keeping it rolling with their brand of no-frills, no-bullshit punk rock.
