Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This bilingual outfit is hardcore enough to share the stage with the likes of Bouncing Souls & U.S. Bombs, yet maintain a Latino-centric outlook. This is the East LA band's 2003 album on Disaster Records, & features 15 tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Socially charged hardcore from East L.A., November 22, 2003

By	hyperbolium (Earth, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

After a trio of albums with Epitaph, this East L.A. trio has waxed their latest with Disaster Records. The focal point remains squarely on Jose Mercado's word-packed lyrics and his blistering vocals. Bassist Rudy Ramos and drummer Louie Villareal provide overdrive rhythm backup. Though the band is often described as "Latino Hardcore," their sound is more reminiscent of Black Flag, Fear, and Bad Religion.

Mercado delivers his lyrics in a fusillade that often obscures both their bilingualism (three of the album's sixteen tracks are in Spanish), and the words themselves. The CD booklet reveals his philosophical thoughts on the manipulation of society, and the fallout to faith, humanity, national sovereignty, mortality, free-will, self-doubt, war, the New World Order, paranoia, and much more. Once you've read the lyrics in the CD's booklet, the relentless musical attack forms the explosive underline to Mercado's sentences.

It's unfortunate that hardcore remains such an acquired taste, as Mercado's songs deserve to be heard more widely.
