What’s in a title? What’s in a band name? Look, if I see a song titled “Fight to Lose” by a band called The Mistake, from an album called “Fuck What You Heard,” my expectations are for some serious punk rock. So I download the song, notice it’s only exactly one minute long. Expectations higher – this has to be some hardcore a’la early 80′s, when far from being scouted by major record companies, punk bands were more likely to be investigated by the FBI. The track does not disappoint, it’s an exploding minute of ferocious, tight, tempo shifting, call and answer hook-stuffed, desperate hardfuckingcore from the suburban wastelands of Orange County.
