Album Reviews
- by Tom Dumarey
Narcissistic Punk Rock Disorder is pretty bad. When suffering from the affliction, you care about nothing but catchy melodies, crunchy guitars and hard-hitting drums.
Take Italy’s MEGA for example. They couldn’t care less about the beautiful Italian landscape, the amazing food and delicious wine. They just want to be holed up in their rehearsal space, cranking out the kind of melodic punk rock that will take you all the way back to the Lookout! Records era while also making you think of Millencolin.
MEGA isn’t exactly rewriting the rulebook on ‘Narcissistic Punk Rock Disorder’, but they did end up with one highly enjoyable slab of melodic punk rock.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
