Intense, venom-spewing hardcore that comes at you like a mix-it-up of No Statik, Born Against, G.L.O.S.S. and Left For Dead? Yeah, ok, I’m in. Fucked And Bound, as you might guess from their moniker, take no prisoners, ploughing straight through the crowd while Lisa Mungo’s vitriolic rasp seems capable of stopping you in your tracks by force of sheer loathing alone. In lesser hands this might all ring a bit one-note, but energy, spite and determination drive it all on through the pain barrier. Everything blasts past at frantic pace, slowing only for closer ‘Abuse Of Registry’ which is both the album’s finest moment and a glinting straight razor’s worth of promise as to where they might be taking things next.
