Labels: Deep Six
Review by: Andy Malcolm
Although it appears to be new material from Jenny P, this is actually 6 songs recorded in ’98. Who knows why it took so long to see the light of day. Their style is mainly super fast, short, emo grind violence songs with shouted and yelled vocals, though every now and again they throw in a really slow part, like on “Red Dead”. Definitely are at their best when playing super fast and the guy is going “RA RA RA RA RA!” and suddenly the song finishes before you know it. “Highschool Handgun Fever” goes from blazing drums to hulking slowness at the disturbance of a hair trigger. Final song, “True ‘Til Death” is regular straight up hardcore punk that you could point fingers too, and although it sounds out of place here, they do a good job with it. Some great hoarse vocals. By now you don’t even fucking care that these guys are ex-Mohinder.
Su19b are not for me. 4 songs of that slow, painful, lumbering hardcore that sounds like it should be played on 45 but even then it’s still as slow as a tortoise that has had surgery and had it’s shell replaced by the Empire State Building. The guy who applies the vocals sounds like he is a bear, that has been shot. Or something. They list him as “throat” on the inlay. Absolutely. Damn, this is just far too slow. Hurry up! Actually, the do have fast grind bits. But not many. They do a cover of the band Crossed Out. That might inspire you in some way. I don’t know.
For your hardcore insanity.
