Published on September 13th 2011Sorry Excuse's sophomore 7" provides six tracks of fast, no-frills, and somewhat garbled straight-edge hardcore. Splitting the difference between Victim in Pain-era Agnostic Front and Poison Idea with the requisite muffled recording, the band's pretty cut and dry on their ideas. Most tracks close.

Sorry Excuse's sophomore 7" provides six tracks of fast, no-frills, and somewhat garbled straight-edge hardcore.

Splitting the difference between Victim in Pain-era Agnostic Front and Poison Idea with the requisite muffled recording, the band's pretty cut and dry on their ideas. Most tracks close with a thematic conclusion: opener "Normalcy" finishes with the couplet, "Fuck you, accept no apologies. / STRAIGHT EDGE"; "Work" ends, "FUCK WORK"; "Mute", "FUCK WHAT YOU'VE BECOME." There aren't really any hidden meanings here.

All the while, their vocalist barks and grunts like a John Brannan reincarnate...you know, even though Brannan's still alive. Moshier tendencies, like those toward the end of "Work" and "Mute", add a little bit of flexibility to the band's sound.

You should know precisely what you're getting on Sorry Excuse. If that's your bag, pick it up.
