Luckily, punk poets well-versed in both stringing beautiful lines and shouting their anger have appeared lately. Happy Science are one of the most convincing ones. They could only come from England, judging by their sound, which is enough to make anyone angry, really. That aside, the turn of phrases in The Last Goodbye are brilliant.

Malmo’s The Mexican Border dig into the darkness of the human psyche on Call From The Unknown. They’re inspired by bands like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and, judging by their sound, Echo and the Bunnymen. Their bass-heavy sound can easily function as a worthy nighttime soundtrack through unfamiliar terrain. The Mexican Border sound like people that have a leather jacket for every day of the week.
