pe is a g-punk outfit from Huntington Beach, CA, masterminded by Jahred Gomes. From their first 2 albums under Jive to their debut on Suburban Noize Records in the mid-2000s, these guys have really been making a name for themselves over 25 years, whether it’s their eclectic sound or the more political ones lyrics to some of them. recent exit. They returned to Subnoize in 2019 for their 11th album Panic although it was generally not well received by both critics and fans, but the It broke follow Class of 2020 they returned to their roots on the next EP as well sand mine he ended up being angrier. However to unstick it Califas worldwide collection and album of their covers 70’s Hits From The PitMCUD & company wrap up Suburban Noize’s 25th anniversary by detoxing on their 13th full-length LP of all original material.
“No Way Out” is a skull-crushing trap that opens the album declaring that they’re back in the black, while the title track returns to their g-punk roots singing that it knows exactly what you want. “Waiting” exudes a rap rock vibe addressing someone who isn’t good for him, but then “Too Late” goes into a straight nu metal direction talking about how you have to count your blessings. Moving on from there, “This Dream” takes it back to the g-punk sound they created, reminding them that the dream they have isn’t for everyone before “Compromise” combines elements of reggae, punk rock and hip hop that refuse to give up. & I get. “Rat Race” embraces works in another trap metal rhythm so MCUD can paint the picture of a nightmare leading into the rap rock “Going Nowhere” promising they won’t be leaving anytime soon. “Pour My Wine” brings the album to a close with a rap metal groove that encourages lighting up and filling one’s cup or glass with wine before “PCH” closes the album for a funky rap rock tribute to those who do time. as we all know that life is too short and time keeps passing.
Class of 2020 for me the continuation was not so bad It brokebut the way Detoxification pays homage to the origins of g-punk, capturing the frenzied energy and signature elements of their distinct sound is more than enough to satisfy anyone who obviously loves these guys. Ulrich Wild’s masterful mix & mastering seamlessly blends raw aggression, hip-hop influences and hardcore vibes to deliver a sonically cohesive experience. If this is how Suburban Noize Records’ 25th anniversary ends, it’s on a very impressive note.
