Binary are hardcore/powerviolence/metalcore/screamo band from Philadelphia and I reviewed their record for our zine. The record is out with Zegema Beach Records.

These guys play interesting mixture of metalic hardcore, screamo vocals and occasional powerviolence blastbeats delivering an energetic punch of in your face hardcore. There are 9 songs on this record. I love how they used samples or spoken word in some songs(Do You Know How An Angler Fish Works?) because I think such parts perfectly fit in dissonant and harsh music like this one. The songs are short and sweet, just the way they should be, with strange titles like I´ll Backhand The Fuck Out Of The Seagull or Like Us On Facebook To Make Us Hypocrites, haha, I swear I can also hear Converge, Today Is The Day and some New Orleans sludge influence in there, like EyeHateGod or Buzzoven similar parts thrown in. This is the kinda hardcore that I love nowadays. Underground scene is beautiful when you discover new and awesome bands every single fucking day. Great stuff!
