Ex Parents Failure EP
Rooted in ’90s basement shits, with a modern ferocity that will straighten you up in mere seconds. Check “Reaper” and hear past decades meeting modern one-two-one-two stomps, and then there are the guitar melodies just kinda floating over the whole thing…repeat listens reveal additional layers. On the one hand, EX PARENTS are no frills, no bullshit, and the listener seems welcome to leave it there should they choose to do so. There’s a lot more though, and deep listening is recommended. This four-song EP sounds absolutely fukkn timeless to these ancient ears, and Council Records continues to be a standard bearer in modern DIY hardcore with foundation in the…well, in the foundation of US DIY hardcore.
