Trash talk - No peace (2014)

Right now Trash talk is really one of the best hardcore band and their album released in 2014 No peace is another ine proof. It was hard to do as good as their previous album 119 (the review I did then) but No peace is really a convincing follow up. maybe it's not better but it can stand the comparison. They alternate crazy fast songs, some slower more beatdown parts, and also a few hip-hop elements (two instrumental tracks produced by the excellent The Alchemist, in a nearly industrial vein, gloomy stuff. and a song featuring the Mcs Wiki and King Krule. good as well). With their fifth album they confirms that they really are above the countless samey hardcore bands.

Trash talk-119 (2012)

Trash talk is a hardcore band from sacramento CA, their sound include old school hardcore punk elements as well as more modern and metallic hardcore elements. they are not very far from bands like Madball or Terror (but with more diversity and subtility in the songwriting). they just released their fourth LP called 119 and it's really good. I can't point exactly what they have that makes them better than most hardcore bands, but they are among my favourite in that "classic" style of hardcore. maybe it's that they sound more spontaneous, more "real", it's also that they write good songs with a lot of energy and groove. the records is released by the hip-hop collective Odd future and two MC's from Odd future appears on one track (Blossom & burn), and even if you're not into hip-hop you can like it. no wrong move on the record so if you like hardcore I'm pretty sure you'll like it...
