Cool But Rude Demo 2024 cassette
Riffy and bouncy hardcore with a metal sheen from NY two-piece COOL BUT RUDE. Citing inspiration from bands like VIAGRA BOYS, DRAIN, and TURNSTILE, something tells me these guys don’t take themselves too seriously, and frankly, it’s refreshing to hear a band that doesn’t try to mug like tough guys playing this stuff. I think it’s what keeps these songs as light and bouncy as they are. In any event, I like it, and while not something I’ll necessarily go back to over and over again, I give them credit for putting out these well-produced and catchy six tracks.
