Welly finally got off his ass and sent me a working download code for these*. The State Funeral EP is classic hardcore, but not in a generic throwback sense. It has a little quirkiness to it that I would call post-punky, but that really just means that it's not just wall to wall power chords and Welly isn't trying to sound like John Brannon. The Terminal Decay comp is chock full of good stuff. Of course, I lean toward the less melodic stuff, but it's all good. Upon first listen, Burning Sensations were probably my favorite band, but I need more time to really digest it all, especially since I've heard little or nothing by any of these bands.
*I was the one who dragged my ass, and the first code not working was probably attributable to my phone sucking.
