The self-described “dumbest band in hardcore” returns with a second LP called No Experts.
The thrashing “Weather Capital,” full of grinding guitars and queasy bass, serves a mini-anthem for the band itself. Vocalist Lawson Bloom, in a voice that simultaneously brays, honks, and snarls, announces the group’s reemergence from the depths of a not-so-cold winter, proclaiming, “Here to stay/Taking new form/From the ashes/We’re reborn/Illiterates don’t call it quits.” You can almost hear the spittle flying. Records available at Sorry State.
