Boston has always had a great scene for hardcore with bands such as Negative FX, Last Rights, Gang Green, SSD, Siege, Slapshot, and Mental in the past and more recently Rival Mob, Mind Eraser, No Tolerance, Men’s Interest to name a few. I would say that Boston Strangler is the best band out of the recent batch of Boston hardcore bands. This record seriously crushes. The drumming stands out in comparison to a lot of hardcore bands these days and the riffs are very well done, very reminiscent of the earlier Boston bands in sound. Great record.
