Clocked In – Tied to the Mast – Review

Clocked In

Tied to the Mast (Radical)
by Adrian Bromley

One thing that usually grabs me from the get-go with a hardcore band is the opening drive of the first song. With Tied to the Mast, Atlanta’s Clocked In (name lifted from a Black Flag song title) hits you right between the eyes with the infectious opener, “Hawthorne Rd.” BAM! Right to the floor! From there, this Southern hardcore crew weaves a wicked set of hardcore momentum, tight, punchy, and hard-hitting. With a little melody meshed in for good measure (and balance), Clocked In are a strong hardcore band that deserves attention.
