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.
