Disengage "Look Back"

Chances are you've heard the buzz around this band made up of some familiar faces from the Wilkes-Barre hardcore scene. If you haven't, then X the fuck up and get into it! Disengage are waving the flag of straight edge hardcore and kickin' it to you old school.

Just from looking at the album art you should know what you're getting into. The art (reminiscent of Release's The Pain Inside EP), recalls a throwback to '88 style youth crew hardcore. The music does as well. Low-fi production, circle pits, simple lyrics, dance floor clearing mosh parts...ahhhh yes it's all here in 7 super short blasts. "Drinking Song" is a personal favorite, with its classic DYS/SSD inspired riffs, along with the 2 second proclomation that says all that needs to be siad on the song "I Am". This record is pure fun.

Disengage reminds us why those classic east coast hardcore bands that they emulate are awesome, while still creating something that kicks the shit out of a lot of modern day bands.
