BEYOND STATE POWER - DEMO 2024
Austin Texas boils to the top once again with this fast and furious, self described Street Punk(?) featuring members of GREEN JAG, IRON YOUTH (TX) and SAVE OUR CHILDREN, BEYOND STATE POWER gets right to the point with these 6 blistering anarchopunk anthems. Tight drums, gravely vocals that are just fuzzy enough to give them some bite and straightforward, ripping riffs. While not reinventing the wheel by any means, this is distilled punk at its finest; raw, politically charged and short enough to justify a few more listens to get a better taste. There is no love for the illusion of power that comes from war, greed or subservience. BEYOND STATE POWER titular track cries out those exact words, a hopeful rally to think and dream beyond the shackles that society places on us all.
FFO: CONFLICT, NEKRON 9, GAS RAG
