I don’t care how old I get, where I travel in the world – I will always be a hardcore kid at heart. Mind you, I started listening to this type of music in 81 or 82, so I guess you could say I come from the foundation. Over the years the term “hardcore” has come to mean different things to different people. The Ohio band REACT plays core the way I love it – thrashy, raw, mean and with a fuck the world attitude. They have just released a ten song album called Old Problems & this record jumps out of the speakers straight down your throat. Every track on this record is john blaze & has the fury of the oppressed masses. None of their songs clock in at over a minute & half – they are short bursts of anger. The lyrics are witty & deal with human politics, which I totally dig. Listening to REACT’s music is like getting into the ring with a heavyweight fighter – it kicks your ass. You’ve got to give it to the drummer, some his beats are a danger blast of rage. One thing that grabs my attention about this record is that you can actually hear the bond that all of these members share. It’s time to REACT & download their album Old Problems here.
