\"HelplessAs dark as a rainy day on the coast, Plymouth-based filth sympathisers Helpless<\/b> are here to completely fuck up your day in the only way they know how. Pulling on the flaws and failings of their youth in a seaside home as inspiration, the band\u2019s debut EP is dripping heavily with discontent and is as deprived and desolating as it comes. Clocking in at just over 10 minutes, \u2018Helpless\u2019<\/i> is made of the sort of sludge that clings to you and simply doesn\u2019t wash off.<\/p>\n

Helpless EP by Helpless<\/a><\/p>\n

Painting a picture of complete resentment through the pulverizing \u2018False Hope\u2019<\/i>, the fidgety \u2018Vercificator\u2019<\/i>, the punk rock rhapsody of \u2018Young Rewired State\u2019<\/i> and the downright disgusting \u2018Foxconn Suicides\u2019<\/i>, the trio apply pressure on how morbid they can possibly be and let your battered eardrums reap the benefits. With no-one else delivering hardcore this technically and uncompromisingly bruising right now, and a lingering feeling that Helpless<\/b> haven\u2019t even moved out of first gear with this slice of muck, it is rather exciting to see how much bleaker than can go in the future. Roll on the misery.<\/p>\n
