Who Pays - Hard Times EP

Iron clad juggernaut hardcore punk torn from the hem of the garment that dangles from records like “war all the time” and “powerbomb anthems.” The sound of sensibility and rage like your wisest aunts and uncles flipping over the card table in an interminable argument but instead performed by WHO PAYS, nyhc’s great hope for the propagation of the musical lunatic fringe. 6 tunes including a BABY HUEY cover that weighs in somewhere between a lost 80s hc outtake and a wrestling intro. Tight and powerful, sounds fresh, no hint of cloying nostalgia, and rarely drops below the pace of a fresh slap in the face. Buy this record and answer two questions: who pays? You. Who wins? You.
