Last Rides of the Midway (Da’ Core)
by Scott Hefflon

I love when a bio saves me the trouble of formulating an opinion. “Southern California-style hardcore (punk, that is), blazing metal riffs, and the catchy speed of skate punk.” Studio, production, and mixing credit include members of Pennywise, 98 Mute, and Bill Stevenson of Descendents (mixing in a hardcore mood, working in only a few hints of the slick punkpop stuff he rules at as well). Yeah, so this sounds like early Epitaph bands, before the stakes got so high. Which is nice, cuz it’s pure, but it also reminds you how much better all those bands have gotten since. Get ’em on the mp3 CD, cuz as I’ve said, pure is worth a lot in the day and age.
