Knifemare Knifemare cassette
Catchy, high-intensity hardcore from Cologne in the same vein as DRY SOCKET and SNUFFED. There’s a good mix of breakneck speed and mid-tempo stomp on these tracks, with plenty of headbanging riffage to be found alongside beefy drums. KNIFEMARE does occasionally lock into a certain kind of groove that gives credence to their “garage punk” label; at times I was reminded of bands like THEE OH SEES. It’s a nice change of pace and something that helps them stick out a bit from the crowd.
