Release of the Day: TAKE IT BACK – “Atrocities”

- TAKE IT BACK are all about stompin’, crunchy mid-tempo hardcore… Think of COMEBACK KID’s slower parts on Broadcasting and you’ll get the idea. The articulately delivered lead vocals are compelling and fit the engrossing feel of the music – brooding like MODERN LIFE IS WAR, but not as raw. A big step up from the band’s earlier release Can’t Fight Robots. For a walk on the more melodic side of this release, check out “Hollow Eyes” which reminds me of CRIME IN STEREO.
