DS-13 "Killed By The Kids" LP

DS-13 "Killed By The Kids" LP

150gram black vinyl

Swedish friends Dropdead played with and kept up a friendship with over the many years from the 1990's until today. Straight up hardcore punk done right. Check out EXIL too, a new ex DS-13 band that does not disappoint.

Raging hardcore from Umea, Sweden. Unlike a lot of Swedish bands this is more of an old school US hardcore sound than the Swedish Discharge influenced sound. More a mix of early DRI, Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, and Seven Seconds. Really powerful and pissed off hardcore.
This LP was recorded at a top studio in Stockholm, features original cover art by Pushead himself. DS-13's sound on this is similar to the first album, but the sound has progressed (regressed) into a more early 80's raw thrash sound. The guitars are less distorted and grindy sounding than on the early releases. This gives the album a sort of raw intensity that allows the songwriting and energy to come out full force rather than behind a wall of distorted noise. I would compare DS-13 to early 80's HC bands like Minor Threat, Poison Idea and such, but I really feel they have a distinct hardcore sound all their own.
