Life On A Plate - Millencolin

Life on a plate was the second album from the punk band millencolin and was released in 1995. The band had already had pretty big success with their first album same old tunes and so they already had quite a few fans to please before the release of this album. The first song off the album, bullion is a very high energy fast paced song. The song is driven mainly by the fast paced drumming which is perhaps just a little too fast in parts and I feel the song could be better for a slower drum beat maybe.

Are you sick of all the poppy punk bands like blink 182 and sum 41 dominating the 'punk' headlines as of late, i for one am. That is why Millencolin are so amazing, they create a well needed breath of fresh air, and with their forth coming album 'home from home' due for realease i decided it was about time people opened their eyes and ears to Millencolin.

Nikola and Mathias had their band called Seigmenn. Larzon joined the band later in 93. After signing to Burning ...  Read the complete review
