“Make punk a threat again!” was the rallying cry that stuck with me when I first got into fast and furious hardcore punk over a decade ago. Now in my mid-twentys, I’m still hooked on DIY punk, still care about fighting the good fight, and while others might wax nostalgic about the past, I’m here to champion the exciting new bands making waves right now.
Maladjusted is one of those bands, delivering fast, angry, and political hardcore punk with their debut Death Is The Only Relief, released in May 2014. Hailing from Los Angeles, they unleash eight furious tracks packed with venom, ripping into capitalist greed, patriarchy, animal abuse, and religious hypocrisy without holding back. This is hardcore punk at its most direct and uncompromising.
The production is intentionally rough, capturing the intensity and urgency of their sound. It’s not polished, but that’s exactly how a demo from a pissed-off band like Maladjusted should sound. If you’re craving a blast of primitive, politically charged hardcore, this is one to check out. Highly recommended!
