MOB CONTROL

in case you haven't done yet I'd strongly encourage you to check out Ireland's CROWD CONTROL split 7" with Britain's MOB RULES cause it's one of the most hard-hitting records coming from the U.K. I've heard in a while! both bands with 3 tracks of their own. somebody wrote about CROWD CONTROL that they manage to be heavy without being HEAVY METAL and fast-as-fuck without being GRINDCORE which is a pretty good sum up. as they have their 2007 demo uploaded on the web to be downloaded for free I thought I could include it here as well. just click on the pic of the CROWD CONTROL side of the split to get to their demo. in case of MOB RULES I dare to predict that a lot of people will refer to them as POWER VIOLENCE cause they have some ultra-fast parts but as it's more fast like let's say TERRORIZER (again without sounding METAL if that makes sense) than CROSSED OUT I don't think that does them any justice. they are gritty and ugly, fast and fucking fierce with hints from a lot of influences popping up in their songs but they have definitely their own thing going on!

  2. thanks for your kind words!

    the 7 tracks aren't from the split 7" they are CROWD CONTROL's demo from 2007. as the split 7" was just released I think people should rather buy it than download it cause it's amazing.
