You can find this yourself if you really must subject yourself to the aural atrocity. It's the sort of uninspired dog shit one would expect from this end of the spectrum, nothing ventured and nothing iterated upon in the least; hell, even the Rival Mob (my least favorite hardcore bsnd of all time until 10am today) had the good sense to rip off decent bands while hating AIDS patients, and the FUs wrote a magnum opus while fucking the flag raw. 7/7

At the end of the day though, I think these people are dumb Indiana hicks too inert to have ever left their hovel, too stupid to conceive of a reality beyond their own, too scared to confront the reality that perpetuates addiction, and so fortunate to only have experienced their carefully constructed fantasy of violence. 6/
Bands like X-Force and Conservative Military Image, people casually tossing out slurs again, every capital h hardcore band inhabits a safe space where their every whim is catered to, lurching from one little podcast basement to another, where they may freely perform their apex masculinity drag show revue, unconfronted by opposing thought. 4/
I don't really think you can separate the reality we've been in since 2016, (since 2001, since 1964, since 1865, since 1776, etc.) from this careening, reactionary train of thought. The mainstream has tossed out all pretense to civility and resistance, and the underground, for all its vaunted ideals, follows suit. 3/
I guess it should come as no surprise that a bunch of white guys from central Indiana are de facto conservatives. The "street cleaning" ethos of this wing of hardcore, whose pitch and cadence rings in harmony with every fascist excretion, has long disgusted me, but this feels particularly brain dead as the state is making very real moves to cleanse the streets of every single person it deems unworthy of life and freedom. 2/
Some interview I read made them seem real self-conscious about their "More Hardcore" LP, but this release sounds a fair bit safer and codified than the slab I first slobbered over. All of these got rerecorded for their big Convulse debut, so we'll see how the finished product holds up, but I can't imagine revisiting these renditions ever again.
