| Work for It - 'No Escape' |
Poland’s
Work for It brings the hardcore sound back to basics with heavy riffs,
hard-hitting mosh parts and tough sounding vocals. In 2011 they released a
demo, which I quite liked despite the sound quality, and their latest EP No
Escape released in December is a great progression and most definitely a record
to check out. There is a perfect mix of older and modern style hardcore sounds
in this EP, with definite influences from bands like Next Step Up and Madball
evident in their music, but with a modern twist, similar to bands like Soul Search and Backtrack.
Poland
seems to have a thriving hardcore scene at this present time taking influences
from heavier styles. Work for It are no exception - playing a very angry and
stomping sound - I found No Escape to be very pleasing to my ears. The record
opens with the track Defenceless starting with a nice grooving sound and soon
going into some heavy guitar riffs and angry raw vocals. This sets the whole
tone of the record, as each track gets more relentless than the next. The
actual structure of each track is very simplistic but who cares, it works so
well! The next track keeps up the fast tempo and contains some nice mosh-worthy
riffs that make you want to smash your room up.
Already
Dead kicks into gear on the second half of the record and made my hairs stand
on end with the smashing breakdown at the beginning and end of the track. You
can really sense the aggression from both the sound and lyrics, which is just
awesome. Condemned is my favourite track though and wraps this record up. The
lyrics and sound is very straightforward and down to earth and the crashing
drums really added to the impact.
No Escape
was available to pick up from The Essence (Founded by Inherit’s vocalist Adam
Malik) however I believe that they have all sold out so lucky people who got
hold of this. If you dig hardcore music then you will love this record
hopefully. Check it out here.
