Shaved Ape delivers the follow-up to their much-loved 2022 demo cassette with Loveletter to Hardcore, five more blistering tracks of ultra-fast, ultra-mean, ultra-lean hardcore punk. The m.o. remains exactly the same as the demo: Vince takes a lifetime of frustration, angst, and energy and channels it straight into a cassette four-track machine, leaning on his decades of experience as one of hardcore’s best drummers (see his work in White Stains, Loose Nukes, and Sickoids), a drummer’s ear for a straightforward but effective riff, and a voice hell-bent on exorcising some demons. And since the first tape never got the vinyl treatment, we put those songs on the b-side, giving you a full LP (OK, 45RPM 12”…) of white-hot hardcore punk, wrapped in a swoon-worthy sleeve featuring a vintage Chuck Hults photo of young Riky Barnes ripping it up.
