Against
July 20th 2008 01:42
Against are a Brisbane based hardcore band. And I'm ashamed to say one I'd ignored until a couple of days ago. They've been around for years (since '01) and have two albums out, 'Left for Dead' and 'Loyalty and Betrayal'.
These guys are great, similar style and sound to say The Dead Walk!, but, you know, not about the zombie apocolypse. Their second album (Loyalty and Betrayal) has cameos from guys from some biggish Yankee bands like Terror and Agnostic Front with is fairly cool.
Even though they've been around for 7 years the fact that big American bands have pretty much flogged their name (I'm looking at you Against Me! and Rise Against) which I think may make it hard for them to break into any big time. But for my money they are better than both of those bands. Different sure, for more straight up hardcore, but Against Me! are kinda average and Rise Against had one good album (The Sufferer and the Witness) and a lot of annoying pop-punky shit.
Against are just balls to the wall hardcore, crazy guitars, screaming vocals and general awesome-ness. I'm still annoyed I've never seen them live seeing as I live in the city they're from. One day....one day
Their myspace page has heaps of songs on it. Check it out: Against
