Hardcore. Plain, simple, and far from weak. I get
the feeling after a good listen that these guys would
kick in a nun’s teeth if she looked at them
wrong. OK, well maybe not that hardcore, but damn
close. Even the slower tunes drive hard with unrivaled
intensity. The inside cover art is great. Someone
spent a lot of time on that. I am giving serious consideration
to framing it (no lie.)
I think that if the Ramones and Danzig had to adopt
a child Modern Life is War would have been their only
(in)sane choice. If attitude is everything these guys
have been weighed and measured and found not wanting.
If you have the balls to write a song entitled “F**k
the Sex Pistols”. I think you have mastered
the art of hardcore attitude, and they can back that
up with one hell of an album.
Key Tracks: Stagger Lee, Screaming at the Moon, The
Motorcycle Boy Reigns.
