Zero Bars Fear of Future, Future of Fear 12″
ZERO BARS coming in hot with some particularly sharp and addictive hardcore punk out of Toronto. Wet your beak on the brief yet ripping “Goon,” or check out the menacing riff on “Nervous Wire” for some immediate proof. Collecting the band’s 2023 demo and last year’s Life and Hell cassette EP, this fat 12” spins at 45 rpm to bring you up to speed. Full disclosure: they cover “Mountain Song” by the CRUCIFUCKS, which made me like them automatically before I even listened to the rest of the record. But sure enough, these dudes rule.
