Razorcake catch up with The Atlantic Union Project

ATLANTIC UNION PROJECT, THE: 3,482 Miles: 12”/CDEP

"The name of the band comes from its members residing on both sides of the Atlantic, which these days is no barrier to working on musical ventures. This release features half a dozen tracks of heart-on-the-sleeve, melodic punk rock along the lines of A Vulture Wake and Samiam. I enjoy how the rhythm section drives the songs along, whilst the guitars and vocals allow the songs to soar, especially on “Trustworthy,” my favorite of the six tracks. I hope this trans-Atlantic musical venture offers up more like this in the future."
