Published on August 30th 2011Censors help represent the newer class of punk on Long Island, having just formed last year, or, maybe the year before that.

Censors help represent the newer class of punk on Long Island, having just formed last year, or, maybe the year before that. Anyway, the band cull ex-members of Barnaby Jones (melodic hardcore) and Ink & Lead (think a fast Hot Water Music), and from the whole of their parts manage to serve up a pretty decent debut 7" here.

With Ink & Lead's lead vocalist helming the band, Censors lean more in their direction. However, they stay more in grinding, medium-to-faster tempos, and with their more aggressive, straightforward push, post-HWM acts like early Lock and Key (though with less impressive guitar work) or Our Own Wars-era Small Brown Bike (though less dynamic and catchy) come to mind. Still, it's got its moments, from the nice riffing in "Welcome to Moe's" to a near-hardcore tumble to finish "Just a Side Note".

Disappointment is, well, not really that much of a disappointment. It's more of a good start, anyway.
