Raw and snotty hardcore from Canada.
Our take: Don’t let the title fool you. The latest release from Canadian hardcore rippers Antibodies may contain 10 songs, but they are all tightly squeezed onto a bite-sized platter. The recording is super blown out, with the gritty guitars mixed red hot. And except for the mid-paced final track, this 7” is packed to the gills with a series of one-minute-flat bursts of energy. Against the primitive relentlessness of the music, the vocals don’t sound like meat-headed grunting by any means. The singer actually sounds rather quirky. Maybe not as far left of center as, say Crucifucks or Saccharine Trust, but the singer definitely has an unusual sensibility. The vocals have this reckless, almost desperate quality about them, and the singer sounding like they’re flying off the handle only adds to the band’s rawness. Even though the record is 10 songs worth of material, the experience of listening to this record is like a vortex. So much happens in a short amount of time, and it whips past you so quickly. Antibodies’ new “full-length” definitely warrants repeated listens, and you will feel bludgeoned each time.
