Grippers

The Singles 

(Potencial Hardcore)



"Headlong," "combative," and "menace" were my descriptions of Grippers' 2024 Complicity Is a Weapon. Those terms certainly apply to their new release, though I would now add "belligerent," "airtight," and "dizzyingly alacritous." The volcanic vocals would themselves be sufficient to knock walls flat, but they are eagerly abetted by musicians so fierce as to prompt 911 calls. 

Recommended: "Spit In Your Face," "Red Wine and Roses," "Uncle Stu"
