Demolition-
Demo 2012 review
This is youth crew done fuckin’
right- I can’t get enough of these four songs.
Gritty, somewhat raw production is a big factor in why this demo rules
so hard. The vocals are distant and
strained, yet remain laced with enough general misanthropy to be a real punk
record, and not some jock hardcore production.
In a more close relation to original youth crew, the lyrics are very
catchy, quotable, and are the picturesque set of words to accompany a live gang
pile around the mic during a set, with twenty or thirty people singing at the
top of their voices. Another benefit of
the more unpolished production is that the guitars, bass, and drums sound a lot
more like a punk record than a “hardcore” one (hardcore here meaning
breakdown-laced, heavier, slower, varsity font punk), and there’s something to
be said when a band so influenced by these sorts of bands still pulls off the
energetic slam dance-styled punk rock.
If there’s a new band to jock, it’s this one. Stage dives and high-fives forthcoming.
