Acidez - Don't Ask Permission - LP (2012)

Labels: Voltage
Review by: Oli Saunders

The members of this band are clearly having a ‘who can look the most punk’ competition and they’ve decided to document the proceedings, showing off their mohawks and studded belts whilst throwing in a shit load of skulls. I made a guess that they were from Spain from the vocals and, hey, I’m not far wrong since they hail from Mexico. They play fast hardcore punk; there is a catchy rock and roll vibe throughout. The album grows on my while I listen to it and I enjoyed the end of the first side, but forty minutes of hearing the guitars play nearly the same riff and the same repetivie snare beat is too much for me. There are some nice touches at times but overall this is pretty standard stuff.
