Fast hardcore from San Francisco, a blend of early 80s anarcho core à la Discharge and the metal-tinged West Coast speedcore of the mid-80s. Quality stuff, and the production’s good, too. [7]
Schneller Hardcore aus San Francisco zwischen Früh-80er Anarcho-Core à la Discharge und dem California-Speedcore der Mitt-80er. Gut produziert und exakt gespielt; für die Fans dieser Ecke in jedem Fall empfehlenswert.
