Jerkswitch are coming from Montreal, Canada and this is their new E.P. containing 5 songs. I don’t know how to characterize their music but I will try. First song Pushin’ Daisies is pure hardcore punk smash, short and sweet on point. Second song Code Red is basically fast hardcore punk, but has ska core parts and this song shows how much this band is tight musically. There is also melancholic guitar melody in this song. Vocals vary from nice melodic singing to more screaming parts, also backing vocal harmonies are in place all the time and fit perfectly to the song structures. The whole energy has some beautiful yet raw hardcore punk vibe and shows diversity and originality of this band. The third song Fight a Table reminded me of early Suicidal Tendencies turning into more modern hardcore punk with speed, energy and surprising change in style almost jazzy and post punk dancing part. Fourth song RX leads us back into hardcore punk with ska punk song parts and more angry vocals with hardcore breakdown. Lyrics of the band are personal but with a touch of humor and self irony looking the world around us. The last song is Lidocaine(Acoustic version) and ends this little opus perfectly. Nice release, i would love to hear more of this band in the future.
