Speak

Knee Deep In Guilt

Revelation

Speak plays formulaic, by-the-numbers 80s hardcore. Insert the word boring in the previous sentence. This band features members of Ignite, No For An Answer, and Slapshot, playing predictably bland, uninspired songs that tread into far too familiar territory. We’ve all heard this before under a number of different names. It’s time to put this to bed boys. Nighty-night. Revelation Records, P.O. Box 5232, Huntington Beach, CA 92615; http://www.RevHQ.com
