Rivalry (2007) Jason

Red Handed – Red Handed — Rivalry, 2007

Red Handed plays fast angry hardcore with pissed off lyrics about being pissed off about being pissed off. Red Handed isn't your regular emotional hardcore output you'd expect from Rivalry. This 7" is the perfect soundtrack for drained swimming pools and grinding curbs. Void cover included. I have no idea why hardcore kids aren't talking more about this band; this is probably the most fun I've had listening to a 7" in a long time.
