     Someone posted this band in a mathcore group and listed Hayworth and Me And Him Call It Us in the for fans of section so I immediately checked it out. They were spot fucking on. This is righteous, sassy, explosive metallic hardcore with grind, screamo, and metalcore elements thrown in at just the right doses. Right from the get-go, their first EP and subsequent split knocked me on my ass, and the new demo just makes me salivate even more at what's on the horizon.

     The band's debut EP 'and longing for the truth i say…' houses five absolute bangers and the band really comes out of the gate with precision and confidence. You'll find earth-shattering breakdowns in nearly every song, but the band plays around with a lot of higher end instrumentals like Antarctica, Hayworth, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. My choice picks are the opener/title track and closer "well guess what?!", both of which go off like nuclear bombs at the end with multiple vocalists just losing their shit.

     The following year (aka this year) the band released their best songs to date on a 'Dance Of The Second Crow split' with "Mr. Noob" whose last riff is some tasty shit, "The Duel" which is like a swarm of bees delivering devastating shockwaves, and closer "Return of the Shirt" that boasts more than just an awesome title, as it throws blow after blow to the brain and even swings into a bit of The Great Redneck Hope territory - and is arguably their strongest track. 2025's 'two song demo' continues the aural assault, as "let's have a ball!!!" and "santiago's big day", the latter of which unravels by the end in a sea of ear-piercing shrieks and breakdowns, as the band leans into an even heavier, more pulverizing direction. Gxllium comes to mind, and that's a helluva compliment.

     Aight I've spoken with the band and we'll have a physical release of all this material late 2025/early 2026 with some unreleased tracks on Zegema Beach Records. Fuckin' bam, cuz that split is top 5 EPs of the year for me.
