For a band with their
name, Zombie Schoolboy is remarkably lively.
With a fun and fresh
delivery, they fit comfortably within the category of pop punk. I especially
enjoy the guitars on "Surprise".
In case it hasn't been obvious,
I have been picking bands with somewhat Halloween appropriate themes or names
for my October reviews. Zombie Schoolboy is not particularly creepy.
I believe the name comes
from the second life the band members have after rising out of defunct bands.
There may also be some memories of not being engaged as students; I don't know.
As you listen the songs
are more about relationships and their frustrations (and a little bit of
nostalgia in the case of "Andy and Brand"), but the verbal angst is
paired with musical fun, making them a treat to listen to.
Check out their 2017 EP A Disappointment From the Start on Bandcamp and Spotify.
