Our take: Denmark’sSmertegrnsens Toldere features Mads from Cola Freaks on vocals, but if youre expecting the moody, nervy punk that Cola Freaks played youll be disappointed, because Smertegrnsens Toldere are a pretty straightforward hardcore band. That being said, they are a hardcore band that displays much of the proclivity for inventive and interesting songwriting that was apparent in Cola Freaks music. It doesnt sound like Smertegrnsens Toldere are at any pains to sound particularly retro, nor are they trying to be particularly current or forward-thinking. The result is a thick, heavy sound that kind of reminds me of the faster bands on Youth Attack Records (i.e. its a sound thats steeped in 80s hardcore but doesnt try to recreate it), only with catchier and ultimately more memorable vocals than a lot of those types of bands have. Its a pedal to the metal rager for sure, but once you pay attention youll hear some really catchy and memorable songwriting. Recommended for those of you who like your meat and potatoes hardcore with just a little bit of gravy.
