BREAK IT DOWN “THREE SONGS” DEMOA nice letter accompanied this listing previous projects as OLDER THAN DIRT, CEREBROS EXPRIMIDOS , BAD TASTE (of Spain!) and the long defunct but wonderful PARADE OF ENEMIES. That last one pricked up my ears as they were an awesome band that came up to Boston many moons ago and thrashed us to death. This Anglo-Hispanic punk band, however, are far removed from dual vocal screaming craziness and plough a far more melodic furrow. Opening track of the three is not as rough and tough as I would have expected but “Corporate Nightmare” ups the ante somewhat and plays out like a melodic SUICIDAL TENDENCIES stomp and closer “Heard It All Before” rounds things off in a tuneful tantrum. Quite a refreshing take on melodic punk and you can download it for free if you go online here:
www.myspace.com/breakitdownhardcore but if you get the CD it’s a well put together job with a stickered disc and proper good sleeve and shit. Far more impressive than a CD-r with felt tip writing on and a slip of paper with the songs scrawled on that some consider worthy of the altar that is the review pile for GADGIE.
