The title “Spit Blood“ is not much more creative than the band name.
Is there music here from the richly illustrated catalog “Hardcore Kids Aktuell“?
AGGRESSIVE was founded in 2013 and quickly took on this album. They come from the Ruhr area and recorded the album in Duisburg-Ruhrort. The band name, the album title, the recording location, it doesn't get much more street credibility than that.
With this album, AGGRESSIVE has actually managed to record a hardcore album that is entirely committed to the old school. Old School NY Hardcore meets a touch of Oi. It's amazing that such a thing still exists in today's time.
The songs could also come from the States, they are that good. However, one could also say that this is nothing new. Heard it many times before. There are the old bands that are simply original and therefore better. Yes, that can be said.
But one can also simply say, the band from the Ruhr area can do it.
It's really fun to listen to the songs. Of course, it's all typical of the scene, but rarely has a German band played old school hardcore this well.
AGGRESSIVE even attempts a German-language piece. Hardcore and the German language are usually two enemies. However, the band manages quite well to convey the German lyrics, which talk about eventually becoming old and weak and reminiscing about the times when one was part of the scene. A good text, which we might even feel ourselves in 40 years when we are old and frail, going through our old records and memories.
The last two songs are presented acoustically. These come across surprisingly well and very authentically.
AGGRESSIVE are experienced musicians, especially with Timo from Pöbel & Gesocks on drums. The guys know what they're doing, and they impressively show it with their debut!
