Heart Attack

Heart Attack Subliminal Seduction 12″

A much poppier effort from HEART ATTACK. This EP is filled with all sorts of hooks and singalong choruses, but it retains their hard-edged punky guitar assault and serious lyrical approach. Here, they take on topics like sexism (“Man’s World”) and the genocidal wars against the American Indians (“Wheels Over Indian Trails”) with a great deal of intelligence. Recommended.

Heart Attack Keep Your Distance 12″

This six-songer varies from great to exceptional thrash. Well, maybe one cut drags a bit (“Society”), but the rest really rip. Unconditionally recommended.

Heart Attack God Is Dead EP

A strong debut by a young New York band, “God Is Dead” is the first thrash punk song from the Big Apple, unless you consider the BAD BRAINS a New York outfit. The other songs are fast but more traditional stylistically.
