Tallahassee's newest export, Armor breaks out with their debut seven inch on 11PM Records. New Skool punk with an old school sound, they read the playbook and threw it away. They've already ripped up the midwest and east coast with Protocol and only time will tell whose next in Tallahassee's crosshairs. Think it sounds too contemporary? get your head out of your ass its 2018. Music for last age of hardcore. Where will you be when the bomb falls? In the pit slamming to Armor.
Third press on black vinyl with orange covers.
Our take: Debut 7” from this band out of Tallahassee, Florida. I probably don’t need to tell you what Armor sounds like because they’ve been blowing up, but I will confirm they warrant the hype. Armor has the fuzzy, blown-out production of a great d-beat band, but their riffs and overall vibe remind me more of the skinhead-infused hardcore sound of bands like 86 Mentality and Violent Reaction. In other words, it’s fast and punk, but also tough and includes the occasional big breakdown. The playing is also great. While there are a lot of precise stops and starts, both the fast and slow parts have a swing and swagger that makes you want to move your body. Another winner from the ever-reliable 11pm Records.
