With so many so-called hardcore bands being depressingly lame or otherwise playing bad metal with poppy, melodic breaks, Eight Days’ ‘More to Life’ EP proves to be a refreshing change. With four tracks clocking in at around thirteen minutes in total, it’s a concise and suitably angry statement.
Driving guitars and hoarse-throated vitriol-spitting vocals define the band’s sound which is in the tradition of full-throttle US hardcore going back to the 80s. For a trio, they manage to keep it dense. ‘Walls’ brings some solid, grungy riffery into play, and the rage burns hard from beginning to end.
