VERY METAL
Hit and Run (Beer City)

Reviewed by Holly Day



First of all, I've gotta say I like the name of this band, just because it sounds like something my mom would say if she was trying to be cool, like, "Oh, now this is very metal! Oooo!" or something like that. I like the music of the band alright, too, although this is something I would have appreciated more when I was 14 and angry all the time and didn't care if pretty much every song on an album sounded the same, so long as it was super fast and loud. And that's probably the crowd this band is aiming at, too-young kids who didn't already live through Agnostic Front and Aggression 20 years ago, or older people who still think those two bands created some of the greatest music ever and are overjoyed to hear so many bands today playing that style of proto speed metal/punk-metal crossover.
