HOSTILE LIFE ARE BACK

TIME FOR ANOTHER REVIEW

HOSTILE LIFE – SKATEFUCKED

Another band from Canada (Manitoba this time, like Archagathus and Violent Gorge) and another good one! Skatefucked is the second (I think) effort from Hostile Life, after their 2009 demo CD-r and features six tracks of pure old school American hardcore, mixed with a small amount of thrashcore. Starting from the title of this EP there’s a strong skate-core influence in this CD, easily tracking back to classics such as JFA. Even if it sounds very fresh and personal this record is really stuck in the 80′s American hardcore environment. Along JFA I can add a bit of the early Black Flag, the slower side of Youth Of Today and somehow a little bit of Gorilla Biscuit, especially vocal wise. There’s a very strong “everyday life” feeling going throufh Skatefucked, with lyrics dealing with common issues and normal people’s problem. The songwriting, as stated above, is really fresh and you can enjoy it at multiple levels. Personally, I really like the faster parts switched with the very cool bass lines, while the acid vocals are a great addition to an overall pleasant EP. Grab it!

IDONEUM BELLO REC. 011.5 - HOSTILE LIFE - SKATEFUCKED E.P. CD-R

the German version of HOSTILE LIFE's SKATEFUCKED E.P. is finally good to go. 6 tracks of old-school sounding HARDCORE that has a thrashy edge. as said earlier the tape was done by TO LIVE A LIE & RAWER BREATH REC. and the description on the RAWER BREATH website said that: "This is old people-hatin', authority-questionin', triple-impossible-pullin', daily routine-dreadin' hardcore that makes you think it's the 80's again. But don't be fooled! This shit is hot off the presses. And it's awesome." which is a pretty good sum up I'd say. anyways, Winnipeg's HOSTILE LIFE are another sweet Canadian band to be reckoned with!

HOSTILE LIFE's SKATEFUCKED E.P. will be released as a tape in the U.S. by the band with help from RAWER BREATH REC. and TO LIVE A LIE REC. in Europe however I'll help them out and put the 6 tracks on a (vinyl) CD-R which will be housed in a DVD case. I don't know how the tapes are handled but the CD-Rs will be ltd. to 100 copies and will come with the usual gimicks like a lyricsheet and whatnot (maybe with buttons and/or patches) and of course have a printed cover.
