Time to Escape – Time to Escape — Grave Mistake, 2007

Bands like Time to Escape are the reason I picked up a record player. It's not so I can score crucial pre-order/fest only vinyl. It's because hardcore bands like Time to Escape just sound that much more raw and frenetic on vinyl than they ever would on CD. Time to Escape is a fast snotty hardcore band from the nation's capital that likes to recall the heydays of early 80's Dischord hardcore. I've heard plenty of bands like Time to Escape in my lifetime and I'm sure I'll hear plenty more. Nevertheless, if it's done well then I tend to give it my stamp of approval. And Time to Escape is a good 80's sounding hardcore band.

Fruits of the Decision Tree
Sleeping Giant Glossolalia (2024)

Some instrumental records create atmosphere while others create movement. Fruits of the Decision Tree feels like it creates an entire environment. It’s unstable, mechanical, strangely beautiful, and constantly in motion. The solo project of Nick Skrobisz (Multicult, The Wayward), Overcalc exists somewhere between electronic experimentation, prog-level guitar precision, ambient drift, and full on sci-fi hallucination. Trying to pin it cleanly … Read more
