The word 'groove' conjures all the wrong feelings and it's hard to justify saying that a crushing hardcore band 'swings' but fukk if that ain't exactly what's happening on the introductory song on NERVOUS MOTHERS first tape from 2014. The slow parts are like a crunk mosh, a drunken churn....a swinging groove of the most demonic nature. And then they blast. Oh do they ever fukkn blast. Not one ounce of the tonnage is lost when they speed up (if anything they hit harder the faster they play). Just a nasty fukkn display of power with high/low vocals and equal nods to '90s USPV and '00s Euro bands like SUFFERING QUOTA (for reference, the tape closes with STACK and LEFT FOR DEAD covers). If you're short on time, just skip right to "Plague," that one is particularly deadly.
"I wish I could say we could clean up this mess together..."
