Drawbacks are releasing their new record with Eternalis Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This band comes from Lille, France and they are very interesting. The music is hardcore punk done in an emotional and melodic way, yet with enough aggression to make it harsh at the moments, yet never losing the subtle melancholy making me kinda sad and happy at the same time while listening to this record. There are 10 songs on this record and it all reminded me of something and I couldn´t remember what. And, suddenly I knew it! It all reminded me of the bands I used to listen in the 1990-ies being then kinda new school but now it is just super hardcore punk with a lot of anthemic old school riffs like in Empathy or Rebuild, those two being my favorite songs on this record, yet the whole of the material is just fantastic with melody, screaming vocals, parts just made for singalong, not being that macho bullshit representing hardcore too often nowadays. There are some emo/screamo parts, you can call it this or that, but in the end, when you draw the line it is just great old hardcore to warm your heart with some emotions and rekindle the flame!
