SAMIAM one of my favorite bands in the 90s, how we used to listen to the SAMIAM, LAGWAGON, IGNITE and NOFX records over and over again at Petri…
My last acquisition from SAMIAM was the 2000 album "Astray" and how excited I was when I could finally admire SAMIAM live again in November 2010 after so many years. However, I never dreamed that almost a year later I would hold a new album from the Americans in my hands.
And their new album "Trips" has become even more melodic than "Astray". It fits almost all occasions, not just for romantic punk rock evenings ;-)
I find it hard to highlight a single song because all 13 tracks are top-notch across the board.
I can only say it's dreamy…
And that's why I don't understand why BLINK 182 are festival headliners while SAMIAM only fills small clubs. Musically, both play in the same league and right at the front.
The only downside is the booklet; they could have come up with something more creative there.
