Dapunksportif – Old, New, Fast’n’Slow

 

 

Dapunksportif – Old, New, Fast’n’Slow
Rastilho Records – 2022
Rock, Stoner, Alternative
Rated: *****

We must apologize to the two punks of Dapunksportif. Cause when their new album Old, New, Fast’n’Slow arrived a month or two ago, we immediately started dancing, cause we were so happy to finally see a new album by the two Portuguese crazies after waiting for ten years after their awesome 2012 album Fast Changing World. And then to my blushing amazement, I found out that the boys released an album in 2018 that I completely missed! Soundz Of Squeeze’o’Phrenia was released through Rastilho Records, which is also the label for the new album Old, New, Fast’n’Slow. So now, we suddenly have twenty-one new Dapunksportif songs to enjoy and go crazy to! But we will concentrate this little mention on the new record and the ten songs featured there. And go crazy you surely will! For their highly energetic ever propelling drive is still there, the same goes for that danceable groove and that elusive and perfect amount of catchiness. Stonerpop, alternative rock, and all so gripping and explosive, there is simply no way you will not be dancing around wherever you might be. In your study, bedroom, doing the dishes, in the metro, walking on the street, during an early morning run… Even though the subject matter might be pretty dark, the music gives it all light, air, and something breezy and wickedly entertaining. This time around they implored the aid of Fred Ferreira (drums, keys), Vicente Santos (keys) and Filipe Brito (bass) to record Old, New, Fast’n’Slow and it gives the album a complete band and full reached potential kind of feeling. They might need to stick with these cats, cause it sounds like Portuguese perfection! And then on the opener Raw & Vulnerable there’s also the special contribution by João Cabrita on saxophone, giving it not only that blast off energy, it also adds an extra layer of sexy funk and special flavor. Dapunksportif is back and they were never gone to begin with! We love Old, New, Fast’n’Slow and will be dancing to it for another ten years! Or until the new album arrives!
