(record review)The Cryptics-The Cryptics(Pine Hill Records)

Pine Hill Records just re-released The Cryptics debut album from 2009.on vinyl. Since I have never heard of the band(shame, shame) prior to this release, it was about time for me to listen and review the record for this zine.

This record contains 21 songs of pure, utter hardcore punk mayhem and boy, am I glad that I got the chance to discover and listen to this awesome band and enjoy the energy bomb that this music presents. The music of The Cryptics is old school hardcore punk from simpler, more fun times in the hardcore scene. This music is ideal for skating and for moshing and hugging shirtless, sweaty kid in the pit next to you. The lyrics are political sometimes, but also with a very high dose of humour and self irony which is good. The songtitles like I killed Hitler or Boris the Bolshevik are sure to make you mosh and wear a smile on your face. Old school flag flies high with this record. Wave it proudly.

10/10
