Violent
Reaction- City Streets LP review
Harder than NAILS and more straight
edge than Project X, Violent Reaction’s debut LP is a hard-hitting hardcore
punk record that also happens to be catchy at points, much like the early
80s. Burly, beefy, and deep-throated
vocals are coupled with powerful guitars, bouncing bass lines, and dead-on
drumming to make this one-man project a reality of a band- it’s hard to believe
that one guy could be so fucking on point with all the instruments, not to
mentions the vocals, the lyrics, and the genuineness of character, he (Tom
Pimlott) is. There’s no other way to
describe this than pissed-off hardcore punk- put it in any subgenre you like
(and I tried to, too), it’s the shit.
Where you’re punching a hole in the wall at a show or at home, or better
yet, shouting the words to these catchy tunes at a show, at home, or in your
car (my personal favorite) you will be moving.
Packaging and design work is superb- Painkiller is on top with good
records right now, and this is one of their best. The best of the best of the best, sir, uh…
with honors.
