urr Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 FED UP! - SHEER POETRY RECORD REVIEW IN EMPTY HANDS ZINE Fed Up "Sheer Poetry" Welfare Records a new Fed Up! these dudes have been rumbling around nyc for a few years, boasting a rejuvenated oi-core sound. i have liked the 7"s and ep's and comp appearances. But this lp is much more solid. this shit is dope. package design, songwriting, production quality, mixing and lyrics - all have improved their game. this is NYHC with a healthy dose of oi. This is true blend of a heavier Murphy's Law, '85 AF, Warzone; a dash of YDL, with and little Uppercut; even a nice Downlow feel. Heavy, low guitars with a hip-hop bounce from the bass and shouted (but not growled) vocals help deliver a consistent punch. a backbone of tight drums, that roll into sweet bursts propagate cool breakdowns and finger pointing moments, really hold the energy in these songs. The bass definitely stands out in a true nyhc fashion, adding the perfect pluck to the time changes. You will not be able to still during these finely crafted tunes. There is a real feeling of the live show in this proper recording. This is HIGHLY recommended to fans of old-school street-core that enjoy any of the mentioned bands. This is Fed up at their peak. Hope they continue on. For fans of - NYHC, vulture rock a la Boot Party & Combat Ready, Stars and Stripes, early Cold as Life, and Blitz.
