Some Part Sorrow (Exit)
by Tim Creter
There is nothing better than a hardcore band that’s able to distinguish themselves in an ever-predictable genre. Intense and solid, Tripface‘s debut is a must for all hardcore freaks. They jump from melodic, to fast, to experimental, with heaviness and energy all over. Lone guitar slinger Jay does a low-end crunch to high-end squeal in almost every song that’s the foundation for their signature sound. Scott does that spoken-to-scream varied vocal style with some angry and introspective, yet positive lyrics. Throw in a cover of Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock” and Tripface are just show-offs. This is a monumental debut for this two-year-old wonder that embodies the collective spirit of hardcore. I am utterly impressed. I thought Vision of Disorder was the only band from Long Island that could rock. How wrong I was. Check this out immediately.
