Make It Count "Leeway" Review


Make It Count "Leeway" GSR Music
Holy Shit. I am a year late on this, and maybe i thought it was another generic youth crew thing, but uh, i missed the fuckin train. When i see GSR, i think that German metalcore shit (which i like); but, like, Born From Pain, Arkangel, Knuckledust, etc. But they've got some newer school shit - like Italy's Strength Approach.
Anyway, Make It Count bring the best of all worlds: they channel some Madball, some Coalition, and some Champion; while still giving props to Insted and Chain of Strength. Also, they blend in contemporaries like Cast Aside music with Dragnet vox. Heavy, fast music with a slight melody/catchiness. The vocals are perfect, strained screams gracing every track.
These tracks are heavy, skipping through some brutal riffs; good time changes. Mostly fast with sweeping breakdowns. The tones of the guitars and the pep of the drums and the vocals culminate with an urgency that is impossible to ignore. I hope these Germans come stateside for some pile-ons and sing-alongs. This is above average hardcore. check it out.
