Who doesn’t love metallic hardcore? Still, it’s always nice to take a break from the chugga chugga guitars and toughguy grunts for something with more of a classic hardcore feel. This is why I’m thoroughly enjoying Ashers, a Boston based band that doesn’t shy away from the sound’s punk roots. Now, I’m not saying the group is simply mining the old school, and if you listen to “Vanished” from their forthcoming debut Kill Your Master you’d get a better sense of that. Featuring Marc Civitarese of The Unseen and A Global Threat on vocals, Ashers deftly mix the fury of early Agnostic Front with the punktastic energy of Fat Wreck Chords era Sick Of It All. But don’t just take my word for it; TAKE A LEAK!
