Overthrow – React – Review

Overthrow

React (Triple Crown)
by Tim Den

A 50/50 combo of H2O and Sick Of It All’s Scratch the Surface, Overthrow does that energetic hardcore thang pretty damn well. Whether it’s the melodies (as melodic as hardcore gets) driving “All One Blood”, the windmill breakdowns of “Dead Last”, or the harmonics-on-top-of-bass-lines ala Scratch the Surface of “Counterproductive”, React is sweaty testosterone fun (as fun as testosterone-fueled hardcore can be) for you and all your socially-aware/choker-wearing crew. Hey, being able to sound so much like SOIA’s best record without being watered-down is already a plus!
