MAKE IT COUNT
Leeway (CD)
GSR
I never read the information that is included with the records I recieve, which sometimes leads to surprises. From GSR I usually expect toughguy hardcore but when I popped this record in my CD-player it turned out sounding completely different from what I had expected. MAKE IT COUNT remind me of fellow germans BLACK FRIDAY '29, deeply rooted in NYHC, sometimes fast and aggressive, sometimes slower mosh parts, but at all times hard. There's a few melodic guitars which they manage to incoorporate in a good way. They cover BATTERY, nowhere near as good as the DC legends but it's cool that they acknowledge a great band that seems to be forgotten by many.
I'm not really into the lyrics which seems to deal with the hardcore scene a lot. I wouldn't say that I disagree with them but they don't excite me either.
