(Crew Cuts) Skrewball hail from Plymouth, UK and specialize in weighty hardcore with plenty of twists and turns in their music, which is buzzing with energy from start to finish. The bands self-titled 7” is out now on the always reliable Crew Cuts and sees Skrewball impressing with their hardcore style, which is both eclectic and inspiring. The release kicks off with some swirling mutant surf punk riffs ala the Dead Kennedys on opening track “Real Deal” and quickly combines with a formidable stomp to create a very strong opening statement, especially as it reaches a Gorilla Biscuits-esque conclusion to the track. This strong start continues on “Peace Talks” (a song that demonstrates exactly where Skrewball are coming from and what values they believe and stand up for) and the energy levels are raised up even more as the band blasts through a furious two minutes of rage. That furious element of Skrewball music is impressive and following track “Wild Cats” definitely keeps that up, but it is also done with a slightly slower pace which only adds to its discordant nature. Skrewball finish up with “Count Me Out” (complete with a killer bassline at its heart and some more of those DK loving riffs to finish up on) and it’s a song that sums up the passion that the band have for punk and hardcore music all wrapped up in less than ninety seconds, and a great way to finish things off. This is a great introduction to the music of Skrewball, a great addition to the Crew Cuts family and a band we’ll be hearing a lot more of in the future. -Gavin Brown
