(review) HCG – ‘Assombrado Pela TV EP’

Ach, South America, land of vast underground scene and HCG are from Brazilian hardcore punk scene and I am really glad that I discovered this band. This came out a while ago, but it is good, and there is never too late for great music isn’t it? This one contains five songs of angry fast hardcore punk with blistering drumming, raw guitars and thundering angry vocals with lyrics in Portuguese language. The music of HCG reminded me a lot of old school California hardcore punk bands like Circle Jerks, early Suicidal Tendencies, TSOL, even Verbal Abuse or RKL. This is superb hardcore punk energy, the only thing is that it passes too soon and makes you wish for more. I love the use of samples in some songs, that is always great in my opinion. My personal favorite is ‘Inimigos Camuflados’, but all songs make you wanna spin the record one or couple of more times. Great!
