The Pitch: Italian hardcore with a little black and sludge mixed in for good measure via Rest and Third I Rex. FFO Will Haven, LLNN, Cowards
What I Like: It's hard for me to put this into words that you haven't heard 1000x before, but hey, you probably just want to know whether or not you should listen to this. Rest will give you exactly zero percent of their namesake, except perhaps for the Converge-y epic finale. This is fast, aggressive, and rebellious music that's more than a little crusty around the edges. It's got a little bit of that Carpe Diem groove, but otherwise comes across like a naked man charging through a crowded mall with a buzzsaw. Punky riffs, abrasive production, disdainful vocals.
What I Don't Like: Nothing new or exciting here, but I'm excited to hear more given the pure adrenaline high.
The Verdict: A foot to the teeth and hand to the throat for 15 solid minutes. They don't even waste time naming their songs. Listen and buy below.
Flight's Fav's: I, III, V
