The Chain - Demo 2012

Jock this band before the real hype starts. 80's NY revival hardcore for fans of Warzone and Youth of Today. I love that this demo has all the modern mosh parts and breakdown bases covered while the recording is still nice and raw. Bands like Backtrack and Minority Unit are tight and all but hardcore is still hardcore, and that super produced sheen just feels weird. Their singer Dereck played/plays guitar in alot of bands in Calgary and so does their drummer Stu, notably (for me anyway) were Runaways, who played their last show a few months back. Not before they were able to make a trek out west and play the Vancouver Island Hardcore Fest. we crashed at the same house and watched Death Race way too late into the night. Tight dudes, tight jams.
Catch them at Van Isle Fest this year!
