Australian punkrockers The Decline have a new album under their wings. “Resister” is another great chunk of up-tempo melodic punkrock with juicy Australian lyrics accompanying it. Skate punk bursting of energy and melodic choruses are the main ingredients for The Decline and this conjunction has earned them tons of fans worldwide over the years. Fans of punk like Teenage Bottle Rocket and Guttermouth will devour this record. It seems these lads are ready to cross the big pond soon for some euro dates on their upcoming tour. From club shows to festivals like Punk Rock Holiday and Brakrock, it’s to check them out when they hit a town near you. And after their euro experience, they are even embarking on a Japan tour and playing at Gainesville finest, The Fest. There’s no escaping The Decline these coming months.
