Verify Hardcore Demo cassette

Sure, it’s not hard to find a hardcore band with a one-word name that records in their rehearsal space, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get excited every time I find a new one. This crew from Montreal brings a battering, snarling mid-tempo take on the genre that works wonders for me. There is almost a flirtation with powerviolence (especially if the songs were half the length). The guitars have good crunch, the vocals are nice and harsh, and the drums are just the right amount of ignorant. All in, this is a tasty if not groundbreaking demo that does what it promises on the tin—rocks out with piss and vinegar in four concise tracks.
