If you have been spinning Ignite, 7 Seconds, Swiz and Dag Nasty lately and wondering where the new bands are carrying that torch, Latest God might have your answer. Concrete Kids taps straight into that strain of passionate melodic hardcore that hits hard but never postures for the sake of it.

This is aggression with a conscience and a chorus. Fast, urgent, and fired up, but never meatheaded. The guitars race, the drums push everything forward, and the vocals cut through with the kind of conviction that makes you want to shout along by the second spin.

Latest God understand that this corner of hardcore lives and dies by hooks as much as velocity. Concrete Kids has both. It rekindles old memories while proving there is still life left in this sound when it is played with heart. Latest God has plenty of that, it shows.

Concrete Kids is out now on vinyl at Life Lair Regret and Shortfuse Records.
