We Sleep - Uniform Fuckface (Sengaja Records)

Extreme hardcore / fastcore – no more and no less. But before you click away, think about why you might object to those words. Loud yelling? To many simple riffs? Tattooed guys in cargo shorts?) Maybe, but at least give a chance to this German band. “Uniform Fuckface” is just their first serious work, so let’s be easier with them. So on this piece of plastic guys tried to focus on good speed and on aggression. Well, they managed with these two points pretty well. The bio says that We Sleep consist of 4 members, each unit for 1 instrument, these bastards are based in Hamburg. It seems clear that these guys have a strong lyric part, which focuses on social themes (usual things for hc/grind/violence bands) and it`s reflected in the cover art too. All these skulls, ruins, nuclear blasts, dark colours, victims theme it`s really an old song and dance… and today has become very hard to surprise anyone with that kit.

It will be a lie if I say that this band stands out from the legion of other fresh hardcore/fastcore bands, but their songs are nice. In these fast rhythms and yelling mess I found few good catchy moments. Also I want to notice a good sound (as for modern times), it`s pretty clean and it make this record very listenable. And the other good thing is it`s total time of all songs. This EP is pretty short, “Uniform Fuckface” were lighting fast,flash, boom and it`s already the last song. And it`s really good, because (for me) if guys were to make the duration about 30 minutes, then that stuff would sound pretty boring.
