In light of some recent comments stating that I don’t know anything about hardcore and shouldn’t be writing about it, I’d like to tell you a little about the the latest album from Fight Pretty. The album (released in 2006) is called Ghosts Along The Brazos and on it this Lake Jackson, Texas band blasts through 12 tracks of angst-laded metallic hardcore as if their lives depended on it. Much in the vein of Converge or (perhaps) Deadguy, blast-beat drumming and breakneck tempo shifts serve as the mangled skeleton for screeching guitars, rumbling bass, and throat-shredding vocals. A bit sloppy in places, Ghosts Along The Brazos is more concerned with the overall feeling and emotional content than it is about technical mastery. All in all, a pretty good album from a band that (even a year after the album’s release) remains relatively unknown. Fight Pretty also has a new album coming out in a matter of weeks called Rewiring The Human Body… that I’ll be sure to check out as well.

I’m having issues with “Stolt 3am”. I get a 4k file upon download. It won’t even stream on the del.icio.us player.
