NUCLEAR MAN - Demo 2023

NUCLEAR MAN - Demo 2023

Another Winnipeg, MB "USHC" band. Compared to HUMAN TARGET (who I saw/got a demo from at the same recent Legion show in Montreal), NUCLEAR TARGET seems a bit more "formulaic" when it comes to the self-applied "USHC" label. Which is not bad: the tones are dialed in, the lyrics are simple and hard to decipher (except for "Warhead": "NUCLEAR WARHEADS WERE ALL GONNA DIE"), the singer is some kind of hardcore punk cartoon character, the breakdowns are plodding and almost too slow. They know what they are doing, and they are doing it well. Bands like this have gotta perform to stand out from the crowd, and their live show definitely delivered in that regard. I wouldn't miss this band if I had the chance to see them again (ideally on the white floor in well-lit auditorium).
