Album review: The Setup - This Thing Of Ours

Since most of our pocket money gets spent on supporting the scene, we couldn't leave this album in a lonely state on the merch table. Do we regret buying this one? Hell no. I tell you, god is not a DJ, he is a fucking hardcore kid.

The Setup has been founded a while ago, but just like wine, some bands get better by aging. This is by far the strongest album made by the guys from Antwerp. 'This Thing Of Ours' is brought as an ode to the hardcore scene. The reactions of the people when new songs are played live, clearly show that the scene adores this band. Walls get torn down. For real. For one of their strongest songs called 'Walking Blind' even musicvideo was made where you see skaters ruling the streets.

The message The Setup tries to bring is clear: make hardcore, not war. Anger is translated into music, where irrations and maybe some bit of hatred is spilled all over the lyrics, only to let it all out and make the scene shiver when hearing new songs like 'Trapped Under The Weight' or 'Burn'.

The conclusion is simple: get your ghetto blaster out of the basement and let 'This Thing Of Ours' light up your living room.
