The
Ropes- s/t EP review
This is a lightning fast old-school
hardcore punk EP. Lyrics are pretty
simple, but still manage to get the mind rolling; it’s a mixture of
introspection and good old self-loathing (or loathing in general). “Valium Cocoon” and “Heads Will Roll” are the
two best tracks, but all the songs on here are rough, aggressive, dark hardcore
punk where one can’t go wrong. The vocal
style is almost unique, being gruff and low-pitch, but not brutal- it’s
delivered at a punk rock pace, and it’s still uncompromising enough to make one
want to fight somebody, at least verbally if not physically. This is very simple music, but it is deeper
than the surface value, if one wishes to look deeper at it. If not, this is still stellar 80s hardcore
punk- loud and angry, but not so much young and snotty.
