REVIEW: Combat Crisis - "Face the Crowd"

Combat Crisis

Face the Crowd

2009

RATING: Listenable

Hardcore street punk apparently didn’t curl up and die. It was just dormant until these guys decided to wake it up. Face the Crowd is chock full of buzzing chainsaw guitars and guttural, screaming vocals accompanied with some youth crew style choruses. It’s full of nice little leads and licks to get your fist pumping to the anthems. Although not anything new, these guys bring some fresh blood to the scene. –Dick Daugherty
