As a chronic insomniac I am very nocturnal. I stayed up all night and ended up going for a walk and power-strutting until sunrise. After coming home and eating “breakfast” I decided I wanted to do some music writing before bed. In tune with my last review I typed “punk demo 2024” into the YouTube search bar and away I went.
As I said in an earlier review there are a lot of cool looking and sounding new uploads on YouTube these days. After a very quick search I came to “Demo 2024” by No Idols! This is some sincere punk rocking with a hardcore edge. The drumming is tight, the guitars are upbeat, energetic and exactly the vibe I was looking for. Both the lead and the gang vocals are kind of standard—but I mean that in the best way possible. They are very raw and in your face and fully fit in with a classic punk vibe!
Featuring five tracks in under ten minutes this isn’t a long release. But it is “meaty”—in the sense that it feels more full or “complete” than some of the shorter demos that I’ve been viewing. Overall—it is pretty great and I’ll just suggest that you give it a listen.
This has been a release presented by DMU—or “Designated Mosher’s Unit”. I am unfamiliar with this but if everything they put out is the same quality as this I’d say they are a solid winner! -Devin J. Meaney
