SOLARIZED



Expect forty minutes of dark, tense hardcore with understated nods to JESUS LIZARD and BL'AST (though there's nothing understated about the band). The sound is advanced, developed, intentional...and powerful. To listen to "Work Without Weapons" is to listen to the result of the process without having to think about the process itself. Whether it's an official designation or not, I'm filing SOLARIZED under 'adult hardcore' until someone invents a better descriptor. Descriptors tamp expectations though, so perhaps you should just use the volume knob* and reach your own conclusions? 

 * I realize that most modern devices utilize either volume buttons or finger swipes on touch screens, but neither hits the same in the context of thew written word...so you get a knob.
