Home 33

Live at Coney Island High (Gypsy)
by Tim Den

Adopting Helmet’s riffing and stop-and-go rhythms, Home 33 makes this played-out formula really enjoyable by simply rocking the shit out of it. Yeah, it’s more metal than anything else (what hardcore band isn’t these days), but the healthy balance of tempo changes, vocal variations (from powerful-yet-clear barks to actual singing), and above-average lyrics make these couple of chug-chug-chug tunes guilt-free fun.
