REGIONAL JUSTICE CENTER - Crime and Punishment (2021) (English review)


 

 

From the hand of the prolific and always violent label Closed Casket Activities comes the second LP by Regional Justice Center, a band that has managed to give birth to one of the great surprises of this year 2021.

 For those who don't know them, they come from Seattle and throw in our faces music based more on intentions and attitude than on defined styles. Despite the fact that analyzes and websites classify them as powerviolence, the reality is that the influences do not stop growing in the scarce 13 minutes and 27 seconds that the album lasts: from grindcore to hardcore punk, passing through the entire range of substyles that may cross your mind.


It's curious how well the puck fits each punch that cuts that last a minute and a half at most. Just as we have songs that leave us breathless, like the initial "Taught To Steal" or "Violent Crime", in the same way they step on the brakes and cut the rhythm like in "Absence" or "Inhuman Joy", even giving the songs with a certain groovy air, always putting the whole thing first rather than giving wax and polishing wax without any consideration.


In case this is not enough for you and you need some more specific reference, tell you that groups from the same label such as Gulch, Vein or the almighty Nails are first cousins ​​of these cafres. Another great point in its favor is, of course, the vindictive chicha hidden in the group's lyrics.
