Duration: 19:00 minutes (11 tracks)

Country: Czech Republic

Besides Metal, Punk especially Hardcore Punk and Skate Punk are my jam. The reason why I pick those as my favourite ones is that the bands have high amount of diversity and musicianship. Even though people might complain the unoriginal contentz, I pretty much enjoy it regardless people claim that they are “unoriginal”. Skate punk has always been one among my favourite genres and will still remain the same. Skate Punk or Ska Punk have seen a lot of changes and now it has a wide collection of artists around the globe.

Krang, an emerging Punk act hailing from Czech Republic released their latest effort this year. Being blown away by their first track, I was stoked for the whole album to come out. Folks over Krang we’re kind enough to give me a copy for review and here we are. Hold on to whatever you have near you, you will surely be hooked to their fresh and refreshing sound. Singalong is an album that not only blew me away but also made me revisit the golden age of Ska punk or Punk in general.

The album itself flaunts a well constructed track-list having 11 tracks with a total run time of around 20 minutes. The riffs are super catchy and vocals in particular doesn’t damage the well laid instrumentation at the background. Packed with fiery fast riffs and timely solos, Krang have a little surprise at the end with a beautiful cover of the Beatles track, Help.

Overall, I pretty much enjoyed​ the album from start to finish. There is nothing wrong and would’ve been more enjoyable if the album was a but longer(Yes, I’m a greedy person). The next thing that Krang has to do is to head back to studio and record yet another album and hopefully release it soon. Can’t wait till they release the next album.
