This LP offers ten songs of tuneful hardcore from this Dallas, Texas-based band. While listening to this, sometimes I’m reminded of a more succinct version of Fucked Up, while other times this brings to mind something more like what you might have heard on an Ebullition Records compilation from the ‘90s. The vocals are shouty and not as “tough” sounding as your stereotypical hardcore band, separating this from the pack from a lot of modern hardcore bands and the trappings they might face. This is definitely something that Stealers have working in their favor. While I would have loved for there to be a lyric sheet included so I can figure out what some of these songs are about, without it I can certainly tell that there’s definitely some good shit happening here. –Mark Twistworthy (Codex, codexrecords.bandcamp.com, [email protected])
