Stockholm Syndrome Flavoured Cake 
Accidentally Funding The End Of The World LP 
 
The words technical and punk can often seem polar-opposites, especially if you remember the very early days of the style. Long gone are the times of amateur musicians making it big on the back of their crazy hair and armour-piercing attitudes. Fans still lap it up, no less, but these days the new generation often want the next level of music to fulfil their psyche. The Athens-based technical punk group Qualia and The Five Ancestors of the Great Maryland Kingdom have returned to the invisible canary-coloured stadium after a seven-year hiatus. Their new album, Accidentally Funding The End Of The World, tips a wink towards the fact we can’t help vote for the status quo by nature of living our lives. It’s the things we do in between that matter, and knowing when to find an alternative. Released today, on Thousand Island Records, the title is so intriguing it has to be featured from the album. This is Stockholm Syndrome Flavoured Cake.  
 
A crack of snare and tom gives way to a soaring lead guitar section. The bass begins to hit the framework in neat and simultaneous bursts of welded metal. Blast-beats and punk rhythms combine as the guitars trill and double-time across melodic chord progressions and blues-based evolutions of progressive drama. The punk vocal hits the exact notes as the guitar elevates each harmony in that happy and frantic method the genre commands. Complete regeneration of the pattern manages to force the song through various pipe ways of sonic delivery as the basic ethos of the song continues persistently with a non-stop thrust of punk rock mayhem.
