I haven’t really heard too much about this band, nor have i heard any of their other releases, but this Birmingham hardcore band brings a very angry and aggressive side to melodic hardcore. This 7″ is the only one i know of that they’ve done so i will treat it as if it is a debut 7″. In my opinion this is a good record for a band starting out. The production is normal for an EP, not to clean and crisp but still solid in the direction the band is going towards. From what i can gather online, they get a lot of influence from bands such as Black Flag, American Nightmare and Panic, some of that i can hear in their music. I like the roughness to this record, it transitions smoothly and i like a lot of noise that you wouldnt normally want in a record. The vocals stick out a lot for me after a few listens, i think that if they do record more records they could develop into a band people could really get behind. With the route that they’ve already taken they could adapt a unique punk sound like bands such as cloak/dagger or along those lines. This is a solid EP, i am looking forward to hearing how this band progresses as time grows.
