I've been anticipating another release from these hardcore boys from Elgin, and boy did it not disappoint me at all. Never being the stranger to Hardcore, Culo are one of the few bands in today's scene that still manage to keep things fresh while sticking to their guns or having to alienate outsiders over ridiculous reasons (I'd go into it but now is not the time or place). Culo let it all lose (figuratively and literally) on this fine slab of in-your face, "I don't give any kind of a fuck" mantra of Midwest hardcore. Combining the infectious sounds of Discharge and the Ramones, adding a Jerry Kids' style vibe, Culo pick up where they left off with Military Trend EP. One of the finest tracks found on this 7 inch is obviously the self titled track, clocking in at a minute and a half. It displays Culo as their finest; a ravaging, wild, and more brutally intent on describing death in their own interpretation. "Wasted on Wine" is another personal favorite, showcasing their style of a short, blasting, and "Faster than thou" approach. If somehow this name hasn't appeared in your usual radar of hardcore, then I suggest you check this band out. I guarantee you'll be surgically attached to this record once it's over.
The link below to buy Toxic Vision (or Military Trend if you haven't heard it either) via Derranged Records. the blog Mind disease has the download link to the album, if that's really what's important to you. I'm also posting Cowabunga's record store, considering they were selling copies of their demo My Brain is turning upside down, which is another must have in their category. Copies are near out, so yea...
