(Noise Rock, Post Hardcore, Punk) [WEB] Hive Bent - U Neutral - 2013, FLAC (tracks), lossless

"Post-Hardcore/Noise Rock duo Hive Bent have much more to offer the spectrum of both genres with prominent recurring themes and subject matter such as violence, gender identity, ridicule, surrealist humor and rape. All of which is delivered in this viscous, abrasive style that nearly mirrors that of lead vocalist Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan, notable on the track “Rick”. It meshes well with this very harsh, rapid, and at times aching sound style that works even better with the D.I.Y. styled recording that makes up this startling well paced release. Surprisingly, this outfit is able to create some catchy tracks mainly that I found myself going back to being “Tomgirl” despite the very bleak subject matter and seemingly personal experience regarding gender identity." -Outskirt Noise
