Fugitive Bubble: S/T cassette
Our take: Another ripper from the almighty Stucco Label, and another one that’s dissimilar from the ultra-fast hardcore style I know the label for. Fugitive Bubble plays catchy, song oriented punk that teeters on the edge of hardcore. “Checks & Balance” is fast and catchy a la Rhino 39 or the Middle Class, while “Contemporary Restoration” has an anthemic vocal melody that reminds me of the Avengers. The recording sounds raw and live and the band sounds tight but nowhere near slick. It’s fast, it’s catchy, and it’s punk as hell. Recommended if you’re a fan of CB Radio Gorgeous or CCTV.
