I feel like I am fairly easy to please when it comes to hardcore, but I am also stubborn as hell. If a band’s formula includes too much, I probably won’t like it, unfortunately. I think this is why I don’t tend to like bands playing a contemporary hardcore style. I usually hate breakdowns. I think what I might dislike the most is when a band busts out the “pogo part.” Don’t get me wrong though, every now and again there is a band who does this but they execute it with extreme hardcore precision, and it rocks my world. INDRE KRIG is one of these bands. They caught my ear with their demo cassette in 2021 and I’ve been anticipating a follow-up since. SCARECROW was lucky enough to play with them in Copenhagen, and they were fucking amazing. Locked tight, with a powerful intensity. They were easily one of the best bands I’ve seen this year. After we returned from the tour I saw some buzz about an upcoming EP, which we finally have in stock! INDRE KRIG’s live energy was perfectly translated onto this hot ass slab. I think it’s a brilliant mix. The guitars are fucking blazing loud, but everything is still clearly heard. I really like the bass tone on this one too. I don’t really hear much distortion, and I really appreciate that. I feel like 99% of bands these days distort the bass to hell. When I listen to old records, like 99% of the time, the bass has a pretty clean tone. The bass on this EP is nice and warm, carrying along the riffs below the super bright guitars. The drums aren’t the loudest thing on this recording, but they are still perfectly audible. I’m not sure how available this EP is right now? I haven’t looked into it much. If you miss copies from us, you can jam it here in the meantime and hang on tight for the US press from Beach Impediment. Alright that is all for today, thanks for reading and thanks to everyone for the support!
