Public Serpents are band based in New Jersey and this is their new album containing 13 songs. This band may be new in the scene, but they are in no way strangers to the scene. Public Serpents are led by singer Skwert known for his playing with Choking Victim and being a pioneer of crack steady and crust ska punk scene. This is his new band and they deliver such energetic and mighty album with this one. From fast hardcore punk oriented songs like ‘Why Can’t I Tell’ to ska core anthems of ‘When Pigs Lie’, ‘Armageddon Stomp’, these guys deliver a storm of melody, rough vocals courtesy of Skwert but fitting perfectly to the song melodies, brass elements, and more rawer and dirtier sound of guitars with catchy hooks and at time street punk riffs and melodies thrown in. ‘Farewell’ is also one of the songs I must mention as being my highlight of the album having such melancholic and sad, yet at the same time uplifting melody. This is a superb ska core album, go listen and grab this one!
