I remember Croatian hardcore band from back in the nineties, they were from Zagreb, their bass player now plays in mega popular Croatian band Brkovi, so I was surprised to see this Stepping Stone from Canada if I am not mistaken, so I said to myself let us hear what these guys have to offer. Escape From the Junkyard offers intro plus five songs of at times harsh, more metalic influenced hardcore, yet retaining that street punkrock charm and sounding raw, but great with moshing parts mixing to more faster straightforward hardcore punk. Top that with angry vocals that fit perfectly to the music and you get one damn fine record. So, go grab this one, songs like Soul Division or the title song will not leave you indifferent if you love your hardcore.
