Citizen’s
Arrest- Soaked in Others’ Blood 7” review
Once in a great while, there is a
band who reunites who has either kept the same energy they had in previous
years, or has gone above and beyond from that- Citizen’s Arrest is an example
of the latter, and this EP is proof. The
sheer fucking intensity of these four songs is something I have not heard for a
long time (save for Hoax, but I discovered both bands around the same
time). The drums, though not
particularly fast, are absolutely crushing, and the vocals from Daryl Kahan are
ferocious, guttural growls and punky shouts alike. The guitars and bass are well balanced in
sound, highs and lows both equally powerful.
Sound-wise, this is still a similar sort of NYHC meets 80s hardcore
sound, but it’s very hard to pin down exactly who or what this band sounds
like. They, to an extent, have a unique
sound in that regard. Punk, hardcore,
crusty metalcore, call it whatever- it’s heavy, it’s pissed, it’s fucking good,
it’s Citizen’s Arrest.
