Review title: An Outsider's Perspective On Hardcore...
Product review: Nowadays, when kids hear the term "hardcore" thrown around, they toss around names like Underoath or even worse, Atreyu; these sorts of bands have watered down the hardcore concept to appeal to the larger emo-kid crowd. Raised Fist's newest disc, Sound of the Republic, lends a European's perspective on the changing scene. The Swedish quartet's first album in four years proves to be a worthy sucessor to 2002's Dedication, which reminded us all what hardcore is all about - speed, ferocity, and social awareness. This time around, you can feel more of a metal influence, which only re-enforces their tenacious song writing skills. Most importantly, though, SOTR revives the spirit of old-school hardcore, bands like Sick of It All and Agnostic Front, to remind us that this "emo-hardcore" phase is nothing but a passing fad.
