Alarm! Alarm! LP

ALARM! is from Stockholm, Sweden and features members of VICTIMS and OUTLAST. I hear some classic Swedish hardcore, but not just that—I also hear some burly American style in there, such as some POISON IDEA vibes. Thick guitar, powerful bass and drumming, with intense vocals. At times, it also reminds me of LOS CRUDOS on their earliest records. Despite my comparisons, their sound is uniquely their own. They venture into territories most hardcore bands don’t, and they aren’t afraid to do their own thing. A great record by people who have been around for a while.
