GROG-
Hood Core CD review
This CD somewhat continues the
Michigan-based, party punk, dirty punk rocker theme that was set forth by
GROG’s first release “Back in the Crack”; though the theme continues, the style
is notably different, and a lot better.
While “Back in the Crack” left me a bit disappointed, Hood Core
certainly redeemed the band, amping up the energy and tossing aside the clean
production for a grittier one with much better songs. Though the band calls their style of punk
“Hood Core” (and I couldn’t disagree), it’s more clearly described as a dirtier,
faster, heavier, but not quite hardcore version of the Dead Boys or Stiff
Little Fingers. Though the production of
working class asses with penchants for alcoholism, weed, and hooliganism, this
is a good record that has a lot of fun packed inside. Not required listening, but I can certainly
recommend it.
