(review) No Restraints – Stand Our Ground(Demons Run Amok Entertainment)

I always loved street core, since I was a little hardcore kid growing up, with all those great hardcore bands coming out leaning more on street punk than on metal in their hardcore cookbooks hehe. This is one of such bands. No Restraints are based in Vercelli, north west Italy and they are relatively new band in the scene with this full length album and it contains 12 songs of excellent street hardcore punk based and leaning heavily on OI/street punk and I am amazed that every song on this record is basically an anthem that makes you full with hardcore energy and strength, makes you sing along and listen to it over and over again. Songs such as Streetcore Worldwide, The Flame Still Burns or They Will Never Get Us are sure to become instant classics. Musically this band reminds me of best Agnostic Front, Warzone, Discipline works but they remain also fresh and ready for this new century and decade. Vocals are angry, more of hardcore shouted but fit perfectly to the music and there are plenty of backing and gang vocals to sing along. Lyrics deal with surviving, battling your enemy, loving your friends, unity and all hardcore themes I still love so much. I enjoy every single minute of this record. Excellent!
