More powerviolence! This time from the great state of
Texas. Ten choice, god hating slammers delivered in under eight minutes. Though
rooted in standard 1990-esque PV, there's an underlining youth crew cleanliness
to these songs. The strained vocal delivery is hybrid between SSD's Springa and
the standard Crossed Out guttural thing. As always, I'm a little perplexed as
to why today's PV bands sound so much like bands from twenty years ago.
Regardless, this is an adept addition to the dialogue (despite the Andrew W. K.
pic). I'm told they kill "it" live too. Party Hard!
If you missed this sweet 2010 release then here it is.
More butt pummeling powerviolence to help you strangle that naughty kitty. Oh
wait, you're vegan. Not as memorable as Crossed Out or Infest (few things are)
but ther's plenty of relentless aggression packed into SP's cascading, palm muted assault. It's amazing how much house cleaning I can
get done in 10 minutes. Choke it!
Hailing from Toronto, Vile Intent are the absolute best of what currently feels like 10,000 Crossed Out cover bands (yes I have heard all of them). This 7" is pure Slap A Ham era powerviolence, but delivered with a freshness and vitality that separates it from mere nostalgia. These folks stand shoulder to shoulder with their predecessors and prove that there's more to mine in the genre. I can't help but wonder if the title isn't an homage to MITB. Vegan apocalypse!
