Halifax's Risky Business is quickly becoming one of my alltime local favourites! It's almost hard to believe that people are still making posi-core / xhardcorex, and it's not 1994! If Ian Hart hadn't been involved with this band, I would have suspected fraud, but I know Ian, and I know how he likes his hardcore - classic!
Folks who loved Gorilla Biscuits will love Risky Business! Persons down with Throwdown will be down with Risky Business! "Risky! Business! Risky Business - That's us!" Follow the link below to their website, and download the three free songs. Be extra careful not to forget the title track "Risky Business". It is imperative. ----- Also: Speaking of 1994... hardcore oldies and London Ontario ex-pats should check out this video of my friend Mark's highschool band, Asscribed. Lukas, you especially, should check this out. You may need divX to play it. I should say that I've never heard/seen a band in the last five years that made me feel more like it was 1994, (it was actually 2002) or who so successfully reminded me of Shoulder (future Constantines, London homeslices) both in sound and in emotion. Asscribed is my new favourite nostalgia band! Plus, that video rules! |
