 
Off! Are the latest band by ex Blag Flag frontman
Keith Morris, the band have been together since
2009 and have just put the finishing touches to
their self titled new album which is due for release
on the 8th May through Vice Records.
‘Off!’ is as hardcore as it gets the
album is made up of 16 songs and runs for a total
of 16 minutes so as you can see each track runs
for an average of a minute each and before you
know it the album is over but the fun part about
this album is how Keith Morris’s takes you
on a fast and furious ride with his unique vocals
which shine throughout.
The album is extremely listenable with some good
hardcore moments on offer and some classic guitar
riffs such as in tracks like ‘King Kong
Brigade’ and ‘Harbor Freeway Blues’
but the main downside to the album is the length
of the tracks, just as you start getting into
a track it sharply ends and on many occasions
it feels and sounds slightly odd leaving you wondering
if the songs are half complete, but then again
this is exactly how old skool punk/hardcore music
used to be.
When listening to the album you can clearly tell
that Off! Are pros when it comes to the hardcore
scene as they have created a fast and furious
short album that you have to listen to a few times
over to fully get the most out of it, so it’s
time for many of you to hair spray your mohawk
and get ready to rock out for 16 minutes to this
interesting slice of hardcore music with an oldskool
edge.
4/5
