Pushing On

I will start by saying, it isn’t very often I can discover a new band that I really like, but every once in a while it happens and it did tonight when I found a band called Pushing On out of Virginia Beach. I personally like fast hardcore, but not always heavy hardcore, and not so much powerviolence. But there is a certain thing about this band that I like, it might be that I love youth crew hardcore so much, this band really does a good thing. I have said this time and time before that it becomes harder and harder to make a hardcore record that hasn’t been done before. This band to an extent pulled it off, I mean, it is essentially a youth crew band, but a little bit heavier at some parts allowing to activate some solid mosh. If I could change one thing about this band it would only be the singer, I would punch him in the face a few times before they played a show so that he sounds a little more sincerely pissed while he is singing. Overall this is a youth crew band by a bunch of young dudes, and that gets me more stoked than anything, young bands are becoming more and more few and far between. Good bands for a fans of The First Step, Down To Nothing, Fired Up… and other things of this nature. You can grab this bands 7 inch over at Revhq.com or do it up at www.myspace.com/pushingonhc.
