Picket Line Dead to Me LP
Labor politics, gang chants, and breakdown-free hardcore punk—if any of these pique your interest, Dead to Me gets the job done. Seattle’s PICKET LINE delivers blue-collar hardcore fueled by class resentment, betrayal, and a conviction that the people at the top deserve every ounce of contempt headed their way. They carry the same working-class anger that powered much of the late ’00s hardcore scene (think AGNOSTIC FRONT, DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR, or even ROTTING OUT). The album feels less interested in personal grievances and more connected to collective struggle. Class-conscious hardcore that hits like a steel-toed boot.
