Livet Som Insats - Check your Grind (2016)

Do we need some more swedish grind? I'd say, when it's as good as the new Livet Som Insats album (their second one), Check your Grind, my answer is a resounding YES! Bring some more!
And if you wonder if the relation to the Beastie boys is limited to the fact that the cover and title is inspired by "Check your head" I'd say yes, and maybe also common roots in hardcore punk and also a good old school groove, but nothing hip-hop with Livet Som Insats, it's only old school grind / punk groove. Fast, relentless, straight to the point grindcore. Really good and enjoyable stuff.
