BEFORE AFTER


This shit must have happened just after I left the bay area in 2003, and if it weren't for all the rad shit I saw when I moved then I might be really bummed at my choice of timing because these four bangers are sick. Not too far removed from early '00s ripping hardcore drawn from breakdown friendly 'crew sounds, but BEFORE AFER were ahead of the current wave of knuckledragging nasty sounds by a solid decade. This is the perfect middle ground between the presentation (lyrically and sonically) that kicked me in the pants 15 years ago and the ugly fierce sounds that keep me interested today. Not idea who this band is/was or what became of them...
