GORDON IVY & THE JAYBIRDS

Happy couples never last (CD)

Akashic / Cock Suck

A few weeks ago I found a package from Japan when I came home from work, very surprising but welcomed. When I discovered what was inside the package I was even more excited, the new record from GORDON IVY & THE JAYBIRDS, a band that I really like. I found them last year when randomly looking through sites at MySpace and fell for them instantly.

It's been a long time since I heard hardcore done with the same raw intensity that these guys have. Sure, they're a bit rough around the edges but it's all good. Any fan of youth crew och 80's hardcore will enjoy this.

At times it's a bit difficult to hear what the singer is screaming but it doesn't really matter. The point is, this band is all about unleashing as much energy as possible and if a few words get lost in the process, who cares?
