HOSTILE OBJECTS - YOUNG GOD 7" REVIEW AND LIVE 7" LAUNCH

HOSTILE OBJECTS – YOUNG GOD 7”

Available on limited green vinyl, and black vinyl, both with download.

There’s no mucking around here. It’s straight into the first song Turkish Knives “Fuck yeah”, and then it’s into the blendercore of Blackened Room, and Eat Your Money on side one. Flip it over for Young God and Send in the Clowns.

This is fast, tight, melodic, unrelenting, catchy hardcore. If ya don’t like this and ya like punk/hardcore, there’s something wrong with ya. The guitar is tough and melodic, the vocals shred, the drummer plays like he’s on some good amphetamines, and the bass holds it all down.  Hailing from Sydney Australia, Hostile Objects have been around for just over a year, with members coming from many other punk and hardcore bands.

This is a well put together 7” release. Nice cover art courtesy of guitarist Jimmy, available in two colours, with good quality cardboard sleeve. There’s a lyric sheet, and limited copies come with a cloth patch. Limited copies also are available on green vinyl, with downloads also featuring  a cover of Poison Idea’s Cop an Attitude. Sound is top notch here,  thanks to vinyl mastering via Alan Douches in NYC. It’s clean, but not slick, giving a strong sound with plenty of punch, and room for everything to be heard.  Great package, and great to see 7” releases out, and it’s the best way really to hear hardcore – slapping a 7” on the turntable.

HOSTILE OBJECTS 7” LAUNCH
THE GLADSTONE HOTEL 29.11.13

Hostile Objects, Throwdown, Deadly Visions, The Fuck Outs

Ya gotta love a hardcore show in a tiny, dingy, sweaty pub. First band up are The Fuck Outs, and their raucous stripped back three chord punk. Good stuff. Just guitar, bass, drums, and a singer called Trouble whose wearing a pink denim sleeveless jacket. Next up are Deadly Visions with their straight edge inspired hardcore. These guys put in a very energetic set which was lapped up by the two arm – windmilling blokes up front. Long standing five piece hardcore vets Throwdown are third up. Their set is tight and catchy as fuck and includes a cover of Suicidal Tendencies Fascist Pig, and closes with a cover of Ace of Spades, both of which they make their own.

Tonight belongs to Hostile Objects and they own the stage. The PA sound has been patchy all night, and fortunately improves when sonic thrashers Hostile Objects come on to playing their furious hardcore in the vein of Black Flag and Poison Idea (whose Cop an Attitude they cover). Launching their new 7” Young God, they play all the songs off it “not in any particular order” says singer Rod. Guitarist Jimmy throttles his clear Perspex guitar over the pummelling rythym section of bassist Luke and drummer Grant, and Rod’s shredded throat. This is great old school hardcore, and they don’t let up for the enitirety of their 45 minute set.  Great bands, great gig.
