(review) Strike Anywhere-Nightmares of the West(Pure Noise Records)

992491

Strike Anywhere are back with their new e.p., the first new release in more than a decade. Virginia punks from Richmond deliver what we need in these times of racism, segregation, murder, hatred, corruption and apathy. They deliver energetic, melodic and angry hardcore with melody and emotion, so hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

There are six new songs plus one cover of Blocko on this record and the only thing I really wish is that the record was longer and that the guys deliver full album. I never saw these guys play live, I was going to this Summer at Punk Rock Holiday, but that epidemic shit stole our festivals for this year, so hopefully next year I will correct that mistake.

Considering the songs on this record, somehow the most anthemic and the ones that worked best for me are Documentary, fast song, also Dress The Wounds, but THE best song for me, that I listened all over again and again is The Bells, just perfect song for singing along and waving your fist in the air, I hope the guys will include it in their setlist on tour next year. That doesn´t mean that other songs are less good, those are just my personal favorites. Welcome back, Strike Anywhere, what a comeback!

10/10
