\"\"Hardcore in 2012. I don’t think anything in the genre has impressed me lately. However Lay It On The Line<\/strong> with this single have managed to craft something fresh whilst at the same time creates a throwback to when hardcore was less focused on who has the most pairs of Air Max’s.<\/p>\n

From the south coast of the UK,\u00a0Lay It On The Line<\/strong> have three tracks on offer here. The single ‘And They Stole The TV’<\/em> is a relatively straight forward hardcore song, no frills chugs and throat tearing vocals. At two and a bit minutes it’s just the right length to not become boring. For me, it’s the best track on the record\u00a0and manages to carve out a niche for itself between Modern Life Is War and Sick Of It All.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on offer here we have two demos, ’31st October’<\/em> and ‘The Teignmouth Election’<\/em> which are more of the same but both of outstanding quality. ’31st October’<\/em> opens with a memorable riff, before the vocals kick in with fury. It’s great stuff and hopefully the band will get some recognition for their hard work. The final track ‘The Teignmouth Election’<\/em> is a minute and a half long, it’s a bit more melodic than the other tracks but still drives forward with conviction and rage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The production here is great too; it doesn’t sound rough considering these two tracks are demos. Overall, Lay It On The Line<\/strong> offer us a glimpse of hope of what hardcore could be like if bands concentrated on the music. Awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/span><\/p>\n

’…And They Stole The TV’<\/em> by Lay It On The Line<\/strong> is out now.<\/span><\/p>\n
