Coming Out Swinging are working class, no bullshit, no holds barred hardcore punk band with members from New York and Connecticut area. I listened and reviewed for our zine their new record out with WTF Records.
What immediately comes to mind when listening to this record is how old school sounding the music of this band is. I love it. Sounds like all that European and NYHC bands that I loved and grew up listening in the 1990-ies. The record contains 8 songs of dirty, maybe sometimes rock n roll sounding hardcore punk(F.M.L.), that old school hardcore anthemic riff, heard for thousandth time, but still gives you goosebumps(You Lose), lyrics bringing tears to life missing fallen bros and sisters(Forever-my personal favorite), dangerous moshing(Stand Up And Fight), Madball-esque songs(For You), street/oi(House Of Pain) and humour(Too Drunk To Bbq), has holding your pumping fist in the air all throughout the record. The singer sounds somehow to me like Dwid from Integrity circa Systems Overload era, which is awesome. The lyrics are usual hardcore themes, a bit clicheed, but they still turn the old spark in my heart into burning flames hehe. This is a great old school sounding hardcore record.
