Overbite

Mastering Overbite “s/t” 7″ on Reagent Records.

Released August 8, 2016

“Massive. Ferociously disciplined playing leads way to hypnotic primitivism. A barrage of noise and feedback, but not without hooks. This is despondent frustrated hardcore, the sound of Irish ghost estates, and while the middle of this record is quite a fast affair, opener “Awake”, and closer “Blown Out” are a gloomier almost post-punk pair. While I’m at it, the recording is INSANE. Check out the bass sound on “Blown Out”‘s intro. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Ireland’s best. Fans of bands like Raw Nerve or The Lowest Form wouldn’t go amiss.” (Andy McSharry)

Mastering Bad Manifest “S/T” on Reagent Records and Quality Control Records.

“Slashing and snarling out of North Yorkshire town Harrogate, comes Bad Manifest. Three young skate punks raised on DIE KREUZEN, VOID and BONES BRIGADE videos, who have created a unique sound of deranged, raw, outsider hardcore punk.
While influences from the weirder side of early 80’s US hardcore shine through, there’s also a dark anarcho underbelly to this beast. Bad Manifest have clearly witnessed the intensity of UK bands of recent years like PERSPEX FLESH, MOB RULES and NO and filtered it into their adolescent skate core brains.
However, the way this thing is composed makes it no re-hash. Reverb riddled vocals and chorus soaked guitars meet rolling bass lines and catchy, eclectic drum beats. And to boot there’s timing changes that will confuse the pit and excite you into a pogo frenzy!
Listen to this on repeat while you’re skating curbs then go home and cry yourself to sleep because you wish you could have written a record like this when you were 17!” (Bryan Suddaby)
