Fight
It Out- Depression 7” review
This is 90s hardcore done right-
songs about being depressed, alone, isolated, and hopeless are what hardcore
should be about. It’s a place for unity,
but to unite all the fuck-ups in a socially hospitable environment, to escape
from the hell that is normal life and have fun for long enough to forget about
one’s problems, or at least make them bearable.
That’s what hardcore has always meant to me, and that’s what Fight It
Out is about, too. The guitars alternate
between speedy punk parts and dark, sludgy slow parts that (make your skin)
crawl. The drums and bass match the
guitars’ high end sound with a low end sound, and creates that early 90s
hardcore feel. The vocals are a mix of
the dancing, pit bull-like varsity dude and the tormented, screaming freak who
might remind you of a schizophrenic off his meds and on the streets, telling
you about his latest vision. I generally
don’t get too hot for hardcore like this, but this is one example of the right
way to play 90s-style hardcore. I can
definitely two-step to this.
