This week Glaswegian melodic punks Sink Alaska released a
new Double A-Side 7” single on Make-That-A-Take Records.
The first song is called The Path Of Least Resistance. Straight
away you can hear that the band is influenced by that legendary 90’s Fat Wreck
Chords skate punk sound. This song is about the frustrations of going against
the grain and trying to make people listen to your difference of opinion. The
strength of the vocals really stands out on the track, crisp and clean but
filled with angst and urgency and backed with some fantastic harmonies.
The other song on this double a-side is called Among The
Wretched. Again lead singer Alshy’s vocals stand out as he sings about being down
and out and coming to terms with that. The musical arrangement in the song is
great, with all the instruments playing a part in making a very interesting
song. Some fantastic guitar riffs helped along by some great bass lines and
some brilliant drum rolls.
This is the first I’ve heard of Sink Alaska and it’s a very
good start. I am definitely going to check out some of their older releases and
look keenly for what they do next. You should too.
