Citizen Rage - Black EP review (2020)
Citizen Rage are a hardcore band from Calgary and their latest release Black, is the sixth (If I am not mistaken) EP in a series which are all named after a colour. Not having the opportunity to listen to any of their previous releases I am not sure if there is a logical connection or a relevancy between the colour after which each EP is named of and the song/lyric themes themselves.
Coming to the music, the EP contains 4 hardcore songs, all played in less than 10 minutes, which follow the archetypical NYHC style, reminiscing bands like Sick of it All or Pro-Pain (when they play heavier) following faithfully the genre "norms" and forms, without surprising (it's Hardcore after all...) or disappointing. A release strictly for the genre fans...
