Draft Dodgers Draft Dodgers demo cassette
The label’s statement doesn’t lie: “Death to capitalist hardcore.” If you were looking for some feel-good Coachella hardcore, look elsewhere. DRAFT DODGERS have no fake tough-guy bark; they’re just a band actually pissed-off at the state of the world, and they certainly nail the frenzied ’80s hardcore vibe found in bands like YDI or even HERESY. This sits firmly in the lineage of UKHC that values immediacy over everything, clocking in at five minutes like it’s daring you to complain. Blink and you’ll miss it. That’s the point. This is hardcore as a reflex, not as composition. If you need more than five minutes, you’re missing the point of hardcore. And, fuck wars, dodge the draft, let the rich fight on their own.
