Still is
sonic diatribe after sonic diatribe. It relies on a well-worn formula as it
continues to serve them and the band continue to stick out from a wave of
similar other bands that are firing out 7”s and tapes all year round with
little focus on establishing a sound unto themselves.
Thankfully, Weekend Nachos are a band that do have an established sound for themselves. Of course, the band’s fastcore tendencies are the most exploited but the slow trudge of Unforgivable still makes its presence felt, like on 'Yes Way'.
'Nachos are straddling a line between metallic hardcore and powerviolence right now and there doesn’t seem to be anything that can throw them off balance.
Granted, Still isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel and it’s not 2013’s very best hardcore or grindcore record (Cloud Rat and Iron Lung are more likely contenders for that mantle). Either way, it’s another terse and belligerent fist full of seething grind that does exactly what it is says the tin (apologies for the cliché).
