Not Now Not Ever 7" Review


Not Now Not Ever 7" Defiant Hearts Records
Mostly this is "Hoods Up!" side-to-side mosh stuff; but that is a disservice to dismiss it that quickly. There are some tougher breakdowns and actual musicianship in these songs. I did have to check my record player to check the tone or pitch or speed - the dude's voice threw me for a sec. Expecting a HC growl, i got a higher pitch than expected. But its more Mark Shutdown than Mike Ski, so by the 2nd song, i was fine.
This 7" is a quick little romp by these kids from Denmark. A Bane/Guns Up! style that is fun. Samples between each song and lyrics that advance their age. To repeat, mostly a newer style HC, but they pepper in sme harder riffs. A good variety, not run of the mill. They are not my new thing, but i look forward to a full-length.
