Another band I would expect to like based on the description and especially the influences, but I just can't get into 'em. I just went and listened to
all the tracks they have up on myspace and while they are MUCH better than most of what gets passed off as HC these days, they just don't pull me in.
One of my favorite types of HC bands has always been the ones with a heavy connection to the Street Rock/Oi sound which these guys list all over the
place, but I don't hear at all. I even think they picked a fantastic Cocksparrer song to cover, but to my ear they butchered it. I dunno, it might be
a completely different thing if I ever saw them live and I don't wanna write them of unless and until I do see them, but I just can't see what all the
hype is about. As I said, it's head and shoulders above all that thugcore and metal shit, but I'm just not getting hooked here. Maybe it's just the
same old new school NYHC vocal sound, but something is driving me away. Oh well. |
