Official debut album of the Saxon powerpop / vintage punk wave quartet as vinyl LP on Bakraufarfita. Whoops! The eleven songs on "Good Advice" literally burst with joie de vivre and positive energy, yet it's the sound ingredients from the past and the oldschool two-and-a-half-minute songwriting that define the picture. The quartet around the extremely agile organist and singer is obviously deeply connected to the late modpunk 70s and also glam rock, but prefers to turn distortion out of the guitar and bring in an organ, harmonica or more of the polyphonic vocals instead. In this tradition, only a few hand-picked bands are still on the road in this country, The Melmacs are upfront, poppy, retro-cool and despite all the apparent complaisance with their music strikingly unique. Of course, between Leipzig and Dresden here is another time not about reinventing the wheel, but a wonderful surprise for all friends of the cultivated fidget hit away from standardized 2022 corporate punk rock boredom. Active since 2018, this band can be trusted with a great future.
