Ok, although from the name you wouldn’t believe it, Tear Jerk re a Scottish band playing a combination of noise and hardcore. Here are five great tracks of their ability to mix up all these styles and come out with a sound that is totally unique and irresistible. This is a really strong CD with five great tracks of gritty hardcore that would make Emo fans weep into their Taking Back Sunday T-Shirts. The vocals on this CD are awesome and they are really Scottish which is cool because sometimes bands try to be something that they are not but with this one, the band stick to their roots and the vocals are done with a proper Scottish accent. The drumming on this CD is extremely fast as is the guitar playing and it all fits together really well to make a crushing hardcore record.
My favourite tracks on this CD are ‘Read me my rights,’ ‘Screaming down the walls,’ and ‘Good Fucking Riddance,’ because these tracks have serious bite and that is how I like my hardcore – with extreme aggression and a hell of a lot of bite. These are great tracks with extremely strong, gritty vocals that go about thousand and one miles an hour and bounce around every inch of your body. The guitar playing on these three tracks is done extremely well with a very aggressive feel about it and the drumming is just as fast as the vocals and this makes it all the more angry and aggressive. This band only seems to have one preset and that is ‘Fucking Fast.’ All five of these songs are amazing and the band show no signs of slowing down at any point in the record and I am sure that there live performances are extremely energetic and the crowd go absolutely wild to this band.
There is some great hardcore here from this Scottish band and I am sure that you will hear a lot more about this band in the future as with music like this there is no reason why they should disappear in a hurry.
