Reviews

Backdrop

“A split of 2 bands I hadn’t heard of before. Both bands come From Finland, and so is the new label. Although the cover art isn’t that great and quite sober the music is most important. Bonded With Blood plays fast old schoolish HC, with their two singers and quite original way of singing, this band sounds different than the average HC- band. Lyrics deal with friendship, hardcore, sXe. I guess they can re- write their lyrics and change their name, ’cause they aren’t a sXe band anymore. About Justice Shall Prevail, I actually don’t like their music. I guess the main reason is the singer. His voice is so irritant! Musically they can improve a lot. Maybe next release is better? Oh, did I say that JSP plays kinda old school HC?”

New Direction

“Antti From Finland sent this 7″ of his band B.W.B. with the question if I would review it and so I did. To be honest I expected something far more worse than this. B.W.B. plays oldschool XXX but ten times heavier than all these bands from the youth crew revival there is goin’ on right now. I just love that dance- part in the first song! Lyrics are about the X, friendship and there’s also a hilarious one about HxC- attitudes. I’m sure it’s meant well but it comes over rather silly to me. Other band is Justice Shall Prevail and they play the same sort of style but with a more NY -ish sound. The voice kinda annoys me, it looks to me like he’s screaming just for the fun of it. As I said before, I was positively surprised by these two Finnish bands. Thanks Antti for sending this, I owe you one!”

Reflections

“From their names I expected tough guy core but both these bands deliver four fast and especially aggressive, angry hardcore where I like Justice Shall.. a little bit more. A decent 7″. JP”
