There was a time where if you read zines like HeartattaCk, Double Decker and Nothing Left, you couldn’t seem to go three reviews without a record being compared to Fugazi or Hoover. For Laces Out, either the past 20 years just haven’t happened or they’re on the bleeding edge of a new new wave of angular post-hardcore. Basslines groove and rumble; guitar lines snake off on wild tangents and vocals veer between howled and sung. It’s enjoyable rather than incendiary, but for those of you out there mourning the likes of Shotmaker, Unwound and Bailer you could certainly do worse than giving these five tracks a go.
