Review in FRACTURE #15: I really liked their last 7", but no way was I expecting this. What a majestic release - hey guys you done yourselves proud with this. Yeah, I fucking love this puppy. Puppy indeed, its like a fucking pit bull terrier and full of rage. The lyrics are so real and the music so tight. Just think of Ripcord and Boston H/C ala early 80s and you can see why this gets me so excited. Its fast, its furious and its hardcore to the max. One to really look out for, putting Wales back on the map (just to steal an old Boston H/C cliché). MH Review in TERRORISER #57: These guys are punk as you fucking like - full on, teeth rattling anarcho punk, to be more precise, with vocals reminiscent of Stig from the late, great Icons of Filth, and a nice line in raging tuneful rifferama. The production is superb, crunchin in all the right places, but lending the band a crisp edge that helps set them above their peers. Witness the dramatic, powerful intro to 'Minds at War', that literally explodes into the sorta edge-of-the-seat mayhem that would make the Varukers proud. What really sets these guys apart though, are all the little guitar embellishments that add a whole new dimension to even their simplest passages. Some of this is truly inspired and bodes well for the band, proving they aren't afraid to experiment with their basic sound. Hell, the bass and toms intro of 'Knowledge is Power' reminds me of Septic Death, for some reason (no bad thing), and on 'Disease' they even flirt with some Subhumans style reggae. I like this a lot; check it out if your that punk way inclined. Ian Glasper 8.5
Review in SLUG AND LETTUCE #66: This welsh band has been bringing us some really awesome hardcore punk for a few years now. A couple of 7"s and now a full length of power packed energetic and straight forward hardcore-punk. In other words serious punk rock. There are times when the vocals remind me of Watty and the Exploited- it's the strong accent and the general style but I won't really say that they sound like the Exploited. This is really good stuff and everything is cool. Ya know, good heavy, hard driving tempo, lots of energy, catchy punchy beats, all sorts of mid range (hence the straight forward no gimmick or niche) just straight up punk fucking rock. Damn fine indeed. Every time I give them a listen, I think to myself, this is really one of the best bands outta the UK playing hardcore punk and its good and powerful. Chris Review in HELL AND DAMNATION: An absolute blazer of a debut full-lengther from these welsh punker! Kicks off with an instrumental ditty, like the ones G-Anx used to do, then from then on its full throttle powerful and raging punk. Angry to the core political lyrics chastised to make you sit up to the injustices that try and make us fremain sedate to the pitfalls of society. The production here is spot on for this kind of ferocity and you can easily define all the instruments. This is some of the most powerful and break-neck HC to come outta these shores (UK) since Ripcord, and it doesn't run amok on the all out thrash attack oral butchery as say early Extreme Noise Terror. In The Shit have adopted a classic sound which combines the frantic outbursts that erupted outta the UK/Europe in the mid 80s, which is a sound which disables the generic UK punk tag that gets ghettoised to fuck lately.
