The demo and artwork are now done. Tapes are made and will be available at our show in San Francisco this Friday night (details to come). Our friend Robert over at Terminal Escape was kind enough to upload the tape for free download.
BooBoo, it's Erik from the Columbus show, thanks for turning me on to this. Here's my review;
"...is this thing fucken ON? ...is this a test? ...this is HardCore, right?"
Oakland, California's Hunting Party (NO definitive article) drops four songs in under seven minutes that, if you listen to more than once? Well, you may not be able to stop.
Nor should you. Honest, horrified vocals. Galloping drums. Bass and guitar mostly moving in tendem, lockstepping steadily forward to stomp right over you and keep going. Every so often the guitar breaks free to ejaculate a little high-end, which I appreciate. It's like when someone you really care about stops talking to slap you in the face, reminds you to pay attention, dunnit? And the last track, "Straight Shooter", has got some kinda SWING to the midsection that makes me think of Bad Brains or mebbee Robo propelled 'Flag or Reed Mullin learning to drum from listening to the afforementioned...FUCK! It's the whole fucken band, but the drums are leading THAT race, alright?
This is a GREAT demo in that it makes me hungry for more; more songs, vinyl, live... whatFUCKENever! I imagine these people are more devastating in their practise space than most could ever hope to be on stage... My only complaint is the lack of printed lyrics... not the end-of-the-world that, but it'd be nice.
And yeah, I know my references are dated, blah-blah but hell! I don't keep up much, I'm OLD and p.s. ...fuck you. Go listen to whatever Max R'n'R are selling THIS week if you don't like it! The way this demo SOUNDS, it could be from any time, any where! But it's not. It's from RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW and if you sleep on it? You fucken FAIL. Got it?
"Scariest FUCKEN hair-dresser EVER children!"
Alright! Email me (or post an email here I can reach you at, can't figure out this 'send a message' stuff) if you want me to pull any more old HeartattaCks or other 'zines (or an old Love and Rockets or two, peeped yr tumbler, didn't I?) for you before I go back to Oz...
