PITFALL

 

They only burned for a hot minute and this might have been their only recording, but damn PITFALL left a mark. From the ashes of PUNCH IN THE FACE, this Chicago tossed aside all of the unnecessary elements and got right to the heart of their mission - gruff, hardcore street punk. Ebro's vocals are the perfect strained, tuneful gravel that you want from Rust Belt Oi, fronting a band that wastes absolutely nothing. The lead on "Misery Lights" last about six seconds and uses just two notes...because if that's all you need then that's all you fucking use. Seven slammers with a SLUGHTER & THE DOGS cover to wrap things up, I just don't know what else you could want.
