Album Review
Societys Parasites - S/TSocietys Parasites - S/T

Societys Parasites are a four piece band from Los Angeles who are signed to punk label, Hellcat Records. The band play fast as fuck pissed off skate punk that is full of attitude and angry as hell. The bands self titled debut album is 15 tracks long and clock in at just over 25minutes in length with most songs running for one to two minutes in length.

The bands debut album kicks off with 'Preface' which is a instrumental introduction that’s full of fast guitars and gives you a taster of what to expect from the rest of the album. Track 2 'In the City' is quite similar to the previous song in musical terms but with the addition of raw vocals that are totally full of attitude.

The whole album carries on the same formula with everything played at such a speed with killer guitar and bass riffs and Freddy's fast hardcore vocals there to help blow you away. It’s impossible to pick a favourite song on the album as each song sounds like the last.

The press release that came with this cd claimed that the Societys Parasites are doing something different and something quite unique but this really isn’t the case, the band are playing straight up fast shout a long punk rock like 90 percent of bands on Hellcat Records do.

Overall Societys Parasites self titled album is just like punk should be played, fast and full of attitude with really short songs, the only downside is that the album is very samey but saying that most bands of this genre are samey and that’s what people love about it

3.5/5
