Winston - s/t - 7

Labels: Nova
Review by: Andy Malcolm

Some rather decent hardcore from these German bods who have squeezed 7 tracks onto a singular piece of plastic with the intent of knocking you out. Starts out with “Tired Of…” which races out of the blocks aggressively in a kind of Born Against meets Swing Kids style, with frenzied screamed vocals before calming down then going all spastic again. Song ends with cool blippy electronic FX like out of Flash Gordon or something. And so it goes…

The band is certainly not content to rest on their laurels and simply shout loud and play fast, each track seems to throw something extra into the loop. And then you gotta hear the vocals, the German accent really gives them something extra that helps them stand out from US bands that play something in this style, sounding appropriately manic and sick.

Essential listening for the discerning kid who likes it out of control and crushing. Europe brings the rock once more.
