| Most European bands these days
are ignited by noisy American metal with block rockin’ beats.
Not Convict. They take it a bit further. On paper is shouldn’t
work: striving for the pop of Feeder but perversely splicing it
with punk rock and hardcore. Yet Convict rise above the implausibility
of it all, proving that they’re mature enough to get away
with practically anything. To put simple: they’re a hard band
to pin down. The opening track ‘Rise Up’ should be universally recognised as the rock anthem of the year. They’re loss is the world’s gain as their emo-loaded vocals will tear your heart apart. Their lyrics could apply to all sorts of relationships, including romance. In their music, Convict have never fled hardcore nor let it confine them. Explosive drums and guitars that dare to trade clarity for distortion without losing any impact. Potent guitar riffs will have you hooked in no time! You can clearly tell that they are neither embarrassed by melody nor in denial of rock as they will spit ‘fear’ through your stereo. Yeah, these boys live and breathe punkrock and rock but full fill their vision with pop. A unique blend of power and beauty! Convict have been labelled a superb live band for quite some years now and this time they managed to fit all their energy on one compact disc. Proving that if you stick it out long enough you’ll have a shot at the gold. A balls-out blasting rock album that looks mainstream while retaining their curiosity and hardcore spirit. They bring you a lot more than the basic quiet-loud dynamic. So remember, despite what doctors in science labs may want you to believe; the strongest anti-biotics don’t have any impact on what these guys will do to you. Starting from today Convict’s in your blood. |
