Here's some new-school skate rock - I'm presuming they are skate rock as they have toured with JFA and have been featured in Thrasher Magazine - that sounds vintage as fuck.
I don't know much about these guys other than they are from North Texas (mostly), and while they be some young guns, they certainly have some seasoned old-school dirty hardcore chops about them.
There is nothing "cute" or marketable about their brand of gnar-ness - this is a GOOD thing.
Sound-wise they seem to conjure up elements of early strains of The Accüsed, mid-era Fang, a young Poison Idea, all mixed with a bit of Verbal Abuse and a big puddle of "creepy-crawl" Black Flag. How can you go wrong with that?
They only way to fail with that formula is to be an incompetent musician, of which these are NOT.
This most certainly is one of the freshest-sounding hardcore records I've heard in quite some time...
Haha, the record is called "Pressure Cracks"... I'm PRETTY sure it's skate-rock. :D
ReplyDeleteahh, refreshing. thanks
ReplyDeleteYou are right this shit is great! I am always stoked to find good new hardcore.
ReplyDeleteCHEERS!

ReplyDeletelol or maybe Texas.... I no read good.
ReplyDeletedid i send you the link to no comply? dudes in their 30s showing some great chops for HC. the live show reminded me of copout.
ReplyDeleteNope, but I'd totally be into checking it out Ben...
ReplyDeleteWow. I know these guys! It's cool to see how much this band from near hometown has grown. I got to see them last month, and I did an Interview with them check it out! txpunk.weebly.com/interviews.html
ReplyDeleteGreat band from TX, oddly enough they dont tour the state constantly and that makes em a bit more memorable.
ReplyDeleteFuck, I've been listening to this a bunch and the more I listen the more I like. I liked B'last since forever and this reminds me of listening to B'last in the bad old days!!
ReplyDeleteIt's real good, ain't it, Bryn?
ReplyDeleteAltho they be young whipper-snappers, there ain't a lick of "hip" in 'em, just dirty punk rock served up raw!
