With the country celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Iron Curtain\u2019s demise teetering at the edge of bankruptcy, it\u2019s hard to imagine a more fitting soundtrack than Razor Wires And Neon Lights, the band\u2019s 5th release. (Available on iTunes through RouteNote)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWave Of Bankruptcy\u201d kicks the door in with some unrelenting crisis rocknroll, to be followed by a punkabilly postcard from a hopeless place, \u201cAgony  Bay\u201d. The \u201977-style punk rock of \u201cParallel Worlds\u201d was inspired by disappointment over the East-West division\u2019s survival even 2 decades after the fall of communism in Europe. The uptempo \u201cLonesome Trains\u201d is a snapshot of the Dec 2008 Hungarian railway strike, where thousands of people were unable to join their families for Christmas due to no means of transport. Leaving politics aside, the last third of the EP starts with \u201cNo Surrender\u201d a bittersweet pop-punk tune about not giving up your rockandroll dreams. \u201cIndependent Girl\u201d is a beefed-up re-recorded version of an old favorite from Bankrupt\u2019s 2000 debut album, Listen, which leaves you asking for more.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically more mature, soundwise more versatile, Razor Wires and Neon Lights is more than a worthy follow-up to last year\u2019s critically acclaimed Rocket To Riot City.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the best moments of punk rock history, Budapest based three-piece Bankrupt deliver a unique blend of oldschool and newschool melodic punk rock, tinged with some punkabilly, rockandroll punk, and garage rock. Regardless of what hype is going on right now on what was earlier called the punk rock scene, Bankrupt stick to the music they like, and continue writing songs that sound the way punk rock was meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Bankrupt is proud to have supported acts like the Toy Dolls (UK), The Creepshow (CAN), The Real McKenzies (CAN), and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bankrupt.hu\/\">http:\/\/www.bankrupt.hu\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MySpace: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/bankrupt\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/bankrupt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Videos:<\/p>\n<p>Cinderella &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JRff_0TK_v4\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JRff_0TK_v4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Straight Outta Graceland &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PHlTLOnYbXc\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PHlTLOnYbXc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Edit &#8211; We like these guys, not only because Simon Z in our office is Hungarian, but because they sound a bit like Green Day before they went all poppy.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punk rock, Budapest, Hungary Bankrupt proved an apt moniker for Hungary\u2019s most unique punk rock band.
