VIOLENT ARREST – s/t LP

Yes it’s every inch as amazing as MRR thought it was: this band is inspiration to older punks who think this hardcore business is a young man’s game. As current, vital and fucking ripping as any band out there right now. Raw, urgent hardcore like a cross between SS DECONTROL and UK punk… Made by fella’s in their 40’s. They manage to pair the songs down to exactly what is needed- namely minute longs blast of pure hate and bile. Anyone who knows me, knows my 23 year love affair with RIPCORD, who still still hold up as one of my all time favourite bands…and VIOLENT ARREST features three fourths of that band! I’d go as far as to say this is as good as anything this group has done.””
