First Brawl is another representative of the mighty Italian hardcore scene from Bologna/Modena area and the guys have been around for a while. This is their new record for Indelirium Records and I listened it and reviewed it for this webzine.

The record contains intro plus five songs of modern aggressive hardcore. Although this is modern hardcore with breaks, fast aggressive drumming and some metalish hooks in the song structures, the guys also give respect to the old school and punkrock influences so for me this band sounds like a crossbreed between Madball, SOIA and modern bands like Terror and Hatebreed, but they managed to remain fresh and energetic without losing the hardcore force and touch that flows through me while listening to this record. Of course there are a lot gang back vocals just made for singalong at the gigs and I am sure that these guys sound awesome live. This is good hardcore record! The best song on the record in my opinion is “New Page”.

8/10
