The Scare- False Unity

Hey Everyone!

For anyone new to this blog, I'll give you some information- it revolves around the culture of hardcore punk- every style, and every aspect of it- the music, the people, the shirts, the shows, etc. I'll start off with an easy one- a review of the new Scare EP.

So The Scare (formerly known as Red Scare) are a band out of Portland, Oregon, and for those of you who haven't heard of them, they sound like a cross between NWHC icons Poison Idea, early SSD and a little Youth Crew-ish stuff, like Up Front perhaps. Their new EP, False Unity (a super Youth Crew sounding name!) Is just over 11 minutes long and features some cool cover art that looks like Uniform Choice.

All the tracks sound super good and the vocalist sounds even angrier than in previous releases from the band, and everything else sounds great too, although the drums could have been a little louder in the mix. Overall, it's the latest in a string of ripping hardcore releases out of the Pacific Northwest lately, one that I hope will continue for a long time!
