Australian scene is great with many bands coming out and delivering killer records. Toe To Toe are hardcore veterans being formed in Sydney in 1992. This is their sixth album after a long period of seven years from the last one “Arturo Gatti”. Vocalist and sole original member Scott Mac sounds better and more pissed off than ever on this killer record. The album contains 12 excellent hardcore songs, each better than the next. The opener “Monolith” is old school hardcore tour de force, in fact, the whole record sounds like a perfect mix of old school hardcore somehow developed in something modern but without losing touch with the roots of our beloved music. One of the real gems on this record is “My War, My Way” with punkrock tempo and so uplifting that it just makes you put it again on repeat. The other gems of this record and tops songs in my opinion are the title track and the album closing track “Sydney”. In all, this album is an energetic bomb that will make you sweat a little during these hot summer days.
