Double Negative - The Wonderful And Frightening World Of Double Negative


Raleigh, North Carolina's Double Negative present their debut effort, which is ten blasts of violent, raging hardcore punk, taking the power of "Animosity"-era C.O.C. and mixing in the raw aggression of bands like Discharge and Void.--RevHQ...Opting out of both the “life sucks, everybody hates me” negativism of legendary turn-of-the-century ‘80s hardcore revivalists Tear It Up, as well as the obtuse weirdness of current old-school kings Fucked Up, Double Negative play breakneck, lo-fi hardcore with a profound sense of excitement and energy. Leads squiggle like old Black Flag, and thrash beats Infest the entire 10-or-so-minute album, but the whole thing feels fun and refreshing instead of oppressive or bummed. Which makes sense, considering a double negative is actually a positive. Whoa!--Alex Frank-
