Dismantle-
Complaints EP review
Taking the negative vibe of modern
hardcore and the lyrical subjects of old school hardcore, and mixing the sounds
of both, this group is definitely caught in the middle between the sound types
and eras. The vibe is good, the songs
are driven, sound slick, and is memorable if nothing else for the repeated
parts with gang vocals (All I Am and All I’m Not, Heavy Hands Heavy Head). Lyrical prowess varies, but is largely
relatable- internal struggles, anti-humanity, anti-religion, and general
frustrations with society and life; it works for what it is. The singer’s voice is a bad shrill at times
and it’s an occasional distraction, but it doesn’t interfere with the overall
presentation of the music. Another solid
Toledo-area hardcore band; enjoyable, even though I’ve heard better- it’s good
for what it is and doesn’t worship the ground modern bands walk on.
