SMD / CHOOSE YOUR POISON split 7″
SMD / CHOOSE YOUR POISON split 7”
I’ve had the pleasure of not only seeing both of these bands several times but have played shows with both too. So you can say I have some history here….This 7” pumps my nads! It is a double dosage of aggressive hardcore punk with an excellent pairing of bands. I think it’s safe to say that although both bands have their distinct sound, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT could be a fair comparison. SMD puts a frantic, frenzied, beak neck speed spin to their hardcore and manage to cram 5 songs into a single side of 45 rpm 7”. That’s moving along at a pretty good clip, not quite as fast as a Manning led Broncos victory over the Raiders but fast enough. I love the sound of their side of this 7”, its raw, thick and dirty (yeah, let that resonate for a minute…) and just comes across like a boot to the ass. Where Maury spits put his vocals as fast as he can, Shane from CHOOSE YOUR POISON pukes forth with a cry of desperation on almost every phrase. They play fast paced hardcore-thrash that seems to be rattling my furniture and causing my cat some undo stress. Their mix is perfectly bass heavy and also sounds really thick, its just a tad bit cleaner than SMD’s side but sounds fucking killer. A great 7” but two excellent bands. This is the kind of 7” that gets flipped a few times and even comes back out later for a few more spins while all the dudes are hanging out pounding some barley pops. Bring on the party…We have the tunes! (Josh Mosh)
