REVIEW:
# 1
"The Czech republicīs Dread 101 kick out some powerful metallic
crustcore! This stuff sounds a little more Swedish influenced then the
earlier material, which is fine by me. Fucking well done for sure! Here
they are paired up with Scotlandīs Social Insecurity, who belt out some
80īs style hardcore punk that stays in line with fast Scotish hc but
adds a little crust flavor. The Cimex reaper image backdrop thatīs shown
here in a few of their collage images also helps give an idea where
they are coming from. Also worth nothing, this LP comes in a slick gatefold
sleeve with a printed record slipcover."

"Gatefold Black and white sleeve, inside a collage of the bands
and their mates, a good start! Edinburghīs SOCIAL INSECURITY kick off
with UK 82 EXPLOITED / DISCHARGE style simple driving punk with pissed
of lyrics about how fucked the world is, itīs nothing new to me but
itīs well done, and a million times better than some of the rubbish
people try and pass off as "hardcore" these days. The DREAD
101 artwork looks like a WOLFPACK record, they have that relentless
d-beat style and dual guitar attack down musically with searing DISCHARGE
leads in effect. (production wise too) their lyrics are pissed off tirades
on "Survival under the system", excellent vocals too, Czech
sounds pure radge man. A great quote from the song "Read or die"
: "So open your eyes and donīt just nod your head all the time!"
- yeah! Armadillo eaven."

"Dread 101 attack with eight songs of crusty punk fury. The songs
are thick and distorted, with a lot of aggression in each. This band
could just as easily be from Sweden as from the Czech republic. Their
lyrics slash into society with harsh criticism and an unforgiving tone.
Dread 101 has come to fuck your shit up and straighten your shit out.
Social Insecurity plays punk based on an old standard. It is full of
rebellion and ready to be the soundtrack for the circle pit. Get wasted,
scream about the problems, and hope that release gives you the strenght
to go on another day. Their lyrics are short jabs at the evil they see
around them. Most of them point out an issue and tell you that it sucks
and /or that they think it is shit. Pretty standard stuff in that respect.
Their sound is thinner than Dread 101īs, which is unfortunate only because
they play a style that really lends itself to the weight."
