First there was
Silkworms,a high school band in Kaposvár, an small but
important industrial city in southwest Hungary. They played
adolescent punk rock, but the band went stale for ideas. So
the music and the musicians metamorphosed into Boys on the
Docks. Since 2005 they started to get serious about rehearsing
and listening to the very best of classic hardcore, metal and
punk to refine their sound, to nuance their roar. They are
still working on their first demo EP. You can go to
http://myspace.com/botdband
and listen to four of their songs, and other links at
boysonthedocks.extra.hu.
For instance,
"Dance of the Dead" has a very obvious Dropkick Murphys feel
to it. It is upbeat, cheerful anthemic and filled with hooks
and choruses. Ordinarily I would be wary of recommending
something that might be considered contrived and derivative.
No, It is a wonderful cut. These boys are good! "Tistvan 2" is
sung in Hungarian with a relentless rhythm, and a strident
beat. "One and The Same" is archly dramatic.
Band is starting to break in Europe! No news of shows here.
