“Cemetery Date” by Newcastle

In aggressive fashion, Cemetery Date holds and hits in all the right places. I think the song is in Spanish, and the poetic flow and rhyme is obvious, transcending language barriers even. The vocals are doubled and raw, a perfect contrast to the super-tight crisp instrumentation of the song. The rhythm section is tight, with pauses and dynamics that recall the pop-punk 2000’s, while the guitar riff shines over the song in major key straight-runs that remind me of the strokes when they were still good.

This is what happens when you harness the powers of mixing similar genres and styles. Well done Newcastle!
