People's Temple: I'm With The... 7"
8 tracks crammed onto 7 inches.. You do the math. Snotty hardcore from a band that claims to hate American hardcore.
You're either with them, or against them. Where do you stand?
Our take: Roach Leg released People’s Temple’s demo tape a couple of years ago, now they’re back with their debut, which crams eight songs onto a 7”, a move I can’t help but love. As with their demo tape, People’s Temple is unique among Roach Leg bands in that they sound like an 80s California punk band (they’re actually from New York)… they’re hard and fast, but with catchy choruses, making me think of bands like Sick Pleasure and Circle One. That’s true for “Think for Me,” which starts the EP and is the record’s highlight with its anthemic chorus on which the vocalist locks in with the band’s dramatic punches. I also love “Jangling Tune,” whose last section makes me think about the beach at sunset. The last tune is called “American Hardcore Sucks,” which is a head-scratcher given their sound, but whatever… I’m still firmly with the People’s Temple.
