Last Minute Fix / Lie and Wait – Split — Wormhole, 2006

Two of Texas' most promising hardcore upstarts team up on this split 7" release. On the A-Side we have Last Minute Fix, who released Revenge on the Syringe in early 2006. Like their debut EP, the band still leans towards the earlier years of hardcore punk. The bands two songs - "This Just In" and "Commotion" - are short and fast-paced but with a nice groove to them. These tracks are definitely an improvement over the previous; if you enjoy early NYHC check out Last Minute Fix.

On the flipside we have San Antonio's Lie and Wait. This band released a 7" under a previous name, but their musical and lyrical direction changed, so they opted for a new name. Lie and Wait deliver three cuts of metallic hardcore in the vein of Ill Blood-era No Warning and Palehorse. The highlight is the last of the three tracks, "People of the Book" with its killer riffs and dark apocalyptic lyrical imagery (there is a slight Holy Terror vibe). The band has a new EP coming out in late Summer; pick it up when it does. Lie and Wait will soon be your favorite band.

The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

So Far Out
Brassneck Records, It's Alive (2024)

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

MG Ultra
Future Classic (2024)

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever. I wish I knew more about the meaning of a brush stroke or even had the desire to know more about the meaning of a brush stroke. I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
