Bloque Fuerte y Firme EP
Seven-track debut from straightedge outfit BLOQUE, whose traditional take on the style doesn’t lead to too many surprises outside of the occasional dive-bomb guitar. I expected it to be a little more thrash-y after the intro, but it’s pretty straightforward. Breakdowns and gang vocals abound, with clear influence from GORILLA BISCUITS and JUDGE. Catch them on tour with SHELTER this year.
