Neil from Unforce gave this to me after some bargaining at the Pagbilao show. First thing you'd notice is the clear Shutdown 'Against All Odds'. If you're not convinced:
Now that we've got that out of the way, Unforce play fast, positive hardcore in the vein of your late 90's revival youth crew bands. This CD-R has 4 songs including a cover of 'X On My Hand' by Feud. Cool. The recording quality is pretty good since it was done at Positivity Studios (ssuupp Paolo??).
The lyrics vary from being positive with song titles like 'Fight For Change' and 'Break This Chain'. One thing that turned me off though was the song 'Beatdown' (just from the title, you'll be warned) with a line that goes 'Throw those sticks of shit, dispose of those drinks. You better change your way if you don't wanna get hurt by my hard fist. Fucking fist'. I mean, seriously? You're gonna beat someone up because they're drinking or smoking? Not cool. Plus I doubt if you'll actually beat someone up.
Potentially good band but remember that old adage, don't act harder than you actually are.
