Who? Rapid Cities
Where are they from? New Brunswick, New Jersey
What do they sound like? New Brunswick just keeps ‘em coming and Rapid Cities are the next in line. Emotional hardcore is a genre that has become largely forgotten for whatever reason. Luckily we still have bands like Rapid Cities keeping it real. The band’s sound has a definite DC punk/hardcore influence of bands like Dag Nasty and Fugazi. Just as those bands did before them, Rapid Cities meld their melody with a powerful aggression. This is really well played stuff that is as intense as it is intelligent. Rapid Cities’ debut full-length, Machinery Saints, is due out soon.
In My Mind
Woop Woop! Rapid Cities!
This is pretty rad. Wish the singer was a bit more on-key.
