PARTY HARDCORE! and I’m not talking about the house/techno kind...
One Step Beyond proves to everyone that hardcore doesn't always have to be about being the tough guy.
But in the end, what’s more hardcore then singalongs and having a good time with your hardcore family?
The CD kicks off with "This Is Hardcore". Immediately after this song you get the point that this is what the bands about: "RECLAIMING THE BAR". Some bands sing about being king or making it big time; but that is just not what One Step Beyond is trying to do. The message they bring is the following: Fuck all that, you’re always welcome in the bar and that’s what OSB is trying to pump in your head with this song.
Sorry for all you straight edgers out there… BUT having a beer with friends? Fuck yeah! That’s life.
When “NOTHING TO LOSE” starts you’re thinking ‘who's that singing? I know that voice!’
Yes you’re right, it’s frontman Mad Joe from Wisdom In Chains.
Well all I can say about this song is:
When like-minded people come together you get an awesome result.
"Get down" and "Our Way" are another pair of great party songs.
There is no point in explaining the lyrics: GET DOWN,HAVE A PARTY OUR WAY
CCTV and OSB are the more serious songs on the album.
Just to make sure you don't think this band is all about drinking. - What? wait? They’re not?
These songs deliver the message the hardcore way, straight to the point.
Last but not least: What better way to end a CD then with some outtakes.
Quote: “HARDCOOOORRRrrrrRRRRRRREEEEEE”
Overall I love this CD. It’s different from other bands and it has a positive vibe all the way true.
If you’re looking for a party go to a OSB show!
Buy some merch, visit one of their shows or drop them a line on FB. DIY FTW!
