Excide

New Morality Zine continues to release outstanding new underground music in the melodic hardcore, post-hardcore, and punk-rock realms, often reminiscent of many of the bands I loved in the 90s, and the new Excide full length is no exception. Sitting somewhere between later period Snapcase and the heavier side of Quicksand, the 11 songs on Deliberate Revolver are full of aggression, groove, and melody, with big hooks to go along with it. At the same time, the songs sound current with the new crop of bands taking cues from this era of music, not dissimilar from bands like Higher Power or earlier Turnstile, along with many of the outstanding bands on the NMZ roster as well. Be sure to check this LP out when it drops later this month. It rocks!
