REVIEW-This is cool. Slippery-riffed hardcore that powers boldly along and occupies its own neatly-defined space. The sound is burly and aggressive, but possesses a wily sense of cunning. The vocals, too, fail to conform, variously coming across as surly, threatening and eardrum-piercingly desperate. Vanilla Poppers by way of Black Flag pretty much sums things up, and hopefully such a description’ll lead you to spend a cassette length’s worth of time in their enjoyably belligerent company.(CollectiveZine.uk.co)
REVIEW- I had the good fortune to have played with this band on a couple of occasions in their brief existence and I hope to play with them much more because they are a fierce and chaotic live group. While new to the Buffalo scene they are composed of individuals who have been doing all sorts of things in a myriad of bands over the years, so they are no strangers to this hardcore stuff. Either way, they took the dive and have cast an 8-song cassette into the world for you all to audibly consume. It’s not the greatest recording, but the songs are pretty damn rowdy. Are they looking for a Black Flag “Damaged”-era vibe? Maybe. Some of the guitar work certainly alludes to that even though the majority of songs move a lot faster than even the briefest of Black Flag rippers. The vocal variations move from straight-up shrieking to spoken/yelled, to some deeper hardcore shouts. I love the weird art/mascot that looks like it was cribbed from an ad for mailorder horror props in the back of a 60’s comic book. Not a bad start, but definitely a worthy group to catch if they happen to play in your town and/or prefecture/province/kingdom/reservation/conquered land mass.(HEXBLOG)
