From: Bakersfield, CA
Sounds like: Hardcore
Predator are a young up and coming band from Bakersfield, CA who recently released this three track EP. The hype is real with these guys as their blistering live show reputation is quickly spreading as well as the raw Hardcore sound that they have. Let's dive in and see what they're all about. The opening track "Heavy Days" opens with a head banging inducing riff before blasting into guttural goodness. The track is hard and heavy in all of the right places. It pulls the listener in with ease. "Running Blind" is fast and pulls no punches. The track isn't even two and a half minutes long and has shades of the New York Hardcore sound. The breakdown will surely get the floor moving if played live. It's tremendous and sets things up nicely for the closing track. "The Answer" closes out the EP with a wallop of a sound. From the opening bass riff to the ending which is filled with chaos, this track pulls out all of the stops. The band might be young but their sound is gritty, intense and will leave a mark on the current Hardcore scene.
Verdict:
Predator perfectly encapsulates everything that California Hardcore is all about in their EP.
