BAD REACTION
HAD IT COMING
(Reflections)
LA quartet's debut CD of ripping '80s hardcore punk worship.
5/5
Coming from Brooklyn and LA, street punk and straight edge backgrounds, a love of bands such as Bad Brains and Minor Threat brought these guys together. 'Had It Coming' combines two 7"s (the Plastic World and Dare To Be Dull EPs) and a rare, ripping cover of the Bad Brains classic 'Pay To Cum'. Every song here is a blast of energy, with speed, passionate vocals and great melodies. The Bad Brains-esque bass line of opener 'Plastic World', gang vocal-filled 'Street Cred' and the awesome stand out 'Shitting On Your Subculture' show variation and sound surprisingly fresh. Short, sharp and fast, bring on the debut album proper!
