OVER VERT - GAGGING AND SWALLOWING (2008)




















And now for something different....
This is more on the hardcore / punk side than the usual noise rock tomfoolery that you'll find here on the bloggo! Over Vert was from Reno, Nevada and kinda takes me back to 90s hardcore, reminding me Econochrist, Detonators or Born Against. But its not all balls-to-the-walls ripping and shredding. They occasionally bring things down with some Nation of Ulysses-esqe structures which adds a nice flavor to the flow of the album.
Also wanted to mention that this was recorded by Steve Albini, which is reason enough to have this here, even though it doesn't sound like your typical Albini-fed record.
But everything he touches turns to gold generally, am I right?
