If you can see between the lines here, you will find a surprisingly soild punk/hardcore band called Commodity. Channeling bands like Comeback Kid and having hearts with their style of mid-2000s punk/hardcore, this band has made a nice little EP that will satisfy that itch for fast riffs, groovy songs, and super fun lyrics to sing along to. The riffs on this episode are mixed in really well and have a nice fast and tight riffing to them that you can’t help but want to move your body. However, the secret to the groove of this band, I think, is the bass. It’s subtle for most of the songs, but when it does kick in, it’s thick and catchy. I can’t help but dance when those bass strings get plucked. The drumming on this album is not the most impressive or technical style, but they ply them hard and fast, and for songs like this, thats all you need. The vocals have such a raw and clean energy to them that you can easily pick up on the words and sing along. The mixing and mastering here is quite good, with all the instruments knowing their place at the right moments. It’s a very solid effort here that isn't too groundbreaking, but why do they do it here? They do it well and make it sound good as well.
