(U.S.) Culture Shock-S/T LP (2017)

Country: USA
Genre: Hardcore, Punk
Label: Youth Attack
Tracks: 12.0'

Urban life promises many rewards—lies that foster complacency and addiction. In the cities where these hotbeds fester, we observe in real time how societies fail. After a period of crisis, horrifying acts are normalized. Drugs become one's identity, hype is power, ego is abuse.

For the lone wolves and free thinkers disgusted by the mainstream echo chamber, they scorn the idea of getting along with self-proclaimed role models and their bland, conventional "fun." CULTURE SHOCK is a fist in the teeth of the Good Life, with an outrageous vendetta to take out the entitled parasites ruining the world.

CULTURE SHOCK's debut is an unapologetic and relentless pummel of US hardcore. Each of these 10 anthems delivers a feral intensity that we've come to expect from the Denver scene. Recorded on analog tape in Denver, Colorado and mixed and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios, maniacal vocalist Geoff D. sums it up it best when he proclaims "The Pack is small, but the bite is hard!" (Press Note)

*This is some fierce, raging, and volatile as fuck sounding hardcore for fans of Salvation, Failures, Spine, Repos and other like-minded bands.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!  Shout outs go to Perception Through Dissonance for providing the link for this review!
