Needless to say, I&#8217;ve discovered that it&#8217;s a fine document of midwestern hardcore, played on par and with the requisite intensity and fire of genre aces like <strong>Bib, Condominium<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Q<\/strong>. Asylum-bound\u00a0shouts,\u00a0sudden gear shifts\u00a0and a relentless track sequence glued together by squealing feedback,\u00a0always poised\u00a0to strike with snarling bass lines and a properly muscular guitar assert the . Tracks 1\u20136 go by in a flash\u00a0while the final track &#8220;Trends&#8221; locks into a noisy rotation\u00a0that sounds something like a skipping Big Black record pounding away while\u00a0a five-star lunatic\u00a0positively loses their shit next door.
