Lipona – Networks

Lipona already made quit an impression on me with “Atlas” and the “Pigeonholed” EP and they now solidify their status with “Networks”. This Florid-based outfit combines skate punk with more progressive influences into kickass songs that are melodic as hell. With plenty of harmonies a la Bad Religion, a fierce rhythm section and tons of shredding they will have no problem winning you over.

If you are into the likes of A Wilhelm Scream, Strung Out or Crime In Stereo, you pretty much have no choice but to pick up a copy of this one. Check out opening track “Followers”… it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about Lipona.
Score: 8 out of 10
