Zhenia Golov / Botox Party
Split
Railroaded Records teams up two Eastcoast acts on this limited split 7 release: Zhenia Golov from New Brunswick, New Jersey and Botox Party from Richmond, Virgina.
Zhenia Golov return with two new cuts of fast, raw hardcore punk. Theyve built of their previous 7 release with more fury and it suits them well. Id like to see what theyd offer in the form of a full-length. But for the time being Ill follow-up on all their vinyl releases.
On the other hand, Botox Party is new to my ears. The three-piece writes fast, melodic punk ala Descendents. Kill the Light is anchored on the guitars, which have a Bay Area punk vibe going on. In fact, these tunes all remind me a bit of the 90s Eastbay scene, minus the British punk worship.
Overall, a good split release. Besides, who doesnt like MAD Magazine inspired cover art?
6.5 / 10 — Michael
