Get Back Up is the odd man out on Organized Crime Records. I always associate super hard mosh bands with OCR but Get Back Up definitely doesn't fit that stereotype. Maybe it's my fault for trying to pigeonhole OCR. Typically, when I get a package from OCR, I prepare for brutal mosh, kick boxing hardcore.

I mean, this album still brings the mosh, don't get me wrong. But I don't feel like any of these dudes rock puffy vests (Nothing against puffy vests, of course. In fact, if anyone can find me a penfield vest, size large, I'd be stoked). These guys have the mosh, but bring an element of melody that tunes it all down some. 9 songs of sweet mosh. OCR says, "for fans of Gorilla Biscuits, Have Heart and Comeback Kid." So there you go. Make your own decision and check these dudes out the next time you are in Buffalo, NY. Or maybe the next time they come to your hometown.

This is heavy. Out and out heavy. Pellinore hail from New Jersey, but they have a definite Cleveland influence. I wouldn't be surprised if they kill it in Ohio.

Plenty of slow mosh, plenty of fast mosh, lots of hard breakdowns. This band basically takes all the good stuff and lumps it into one song. What's awesome is that most of these dudes are just high schoolers. I wasn't doing anything remotely as cool as this in high school. Not even close. I never would have thought to use this scary ass artwork for my cd then either. This shit is borderline creepy eerie. Not creepy like 70s mustaches, but creepy like your soul shivering. Awesome.

If you like bands like Cold Sweat, Mind Eraser, Ringworm, ... you will definitely be into Pellinore. If you only like Youth Of Today, you may just want to stick with Youth Of Today. Fuck, how good is Youth Of Today? Shit, so good.
