Detain-
State of Emergency 7” review
Simple knuckle-dragging hardcore
with riffs for days; take Madball, mix it up with modern hardcore/metalcore,
and you’ve got Detain. Mid-tempo heavy
beat, gruff vocals, simple lyrics, well-recorded; everything about this EP
screams simple- music for lifting weights, drinking heavily, fighting (although
it isn’t as good as Neanderthal’s Fighting Music), fucking (if you can find a
mutant willing to do so), or taking out your anger on a bad day. Make no mistake, Detain is among the best at
what they do- if you want to sweat in any way, Detain is for you. Just bear in mind that it resonates much more
with the id rather than the ego or superego.
It’s nothing new, just something good.
