If you are looking for something to heal your missing love for hardcore, salt is the band for you. Only clocking in at just over 5 minutes with this episode, these guys had a vision and executed well because this short episode is so satisfying. Nothing is wasted or bloated in terms of performance, riffs, drums, or mixing. They are playing a surprisingly catchy and poppy style of hardcore. When you hear these songs, you can't help but nod your head to how groovy it all sounds. Definitely was getting some eighteen vision-inspired riffs and groove. The only drawback is the vocals seem a bit empty. Like they are missing some weight to them. Like he doesn't really understand the words he is saying. That aside, this is such a nice little gift in such a small package. Any hardcore person will genuinely enjoy this episode.
