Lack Of Interest

Trapped Inside

Slap-A-Ham

If you had their split with Spazz, you should know what to expect – twenty-four songs of blasting fastcore in just under fifteen minutes. You can tell they’ve been at this for a while – they know what they’re going for and don’t waste much time screwing around. There are some slower breakdowns, but they soon give way to blistering momentum, keeping the song lengths at a low average. Speedy hardcore with good breaks and barked lyrics. Impressive how many changes can fit in twenty second songs.
