Professor-
Publish or Perish EP review
This is college-core. Punkademia.
Hardcore with a smartass, sarcastic sense of humor, yet not lacking in
the bite of some of the songs, not afraid to make nods to the influences of the
band- Descendents, Integrity, Tragedy, Sick of It All, Hüsker Dü,
and anarcho punk/crack rock steady. Even
though the music is largely written with a sense of disillusion and discontent,
the humor of the lyrics still hits a bit harder, which isn’t always good;
however, here it tends to be complimentary rather than detrimental. Taking away the context and value of the
lyrical content, the music is standard Midwest/east coast hardcore with a sense
of speed and heaviness to it. Another
band from Toledo waving the flag of TOHC and contributing to their end of the
scene- whether they are their own scene or an extension of other ones is a
matter of perspective, but this EP definitely stands on its own. Worth the listen.
