(record review)ENZIGURI-“Uptown Boogie Down”

cover

This is a relative new and young band fresh on New York Hardcore scene. Hailing from Bronx, they released one ep in 2015. and then remained relative inactive due to some lineup changes. Now, they released their first full length album and I love it. The album contains 13 songs and it is a hardcore bomb full of energy and it is what I needed in this times when almost all the bands play the new modern version of hardcore. Enziguri went the other way and they play old school New York Hardcore and their music sounds like a mix of more melodic songs of Agnostic Front and the music of H2O. They kinda reminded me vocally a lot on Toby Morse from H2O. Since those two bands are one of my favourite hardcore bands, this album was listened on repeat for many times and I loved it. Positive lyrics about friendship, streets, having fun, fight, make you jump and make you wanna hug that sweaty kid in the pit next to you. I hope Enziguri will be heard all over the world and become another proof why New York Hardcore scene is one of the best hardcore scenes in the world! Top songs: “Love Wins”, “Amigo”, “No Time”

8/10
