    With a label name like Doubleplusungood, you need to sign bands with simple names, like Concrete. Starting off with a funny complaint message on their answering machine from a neighbor annoyed by the band practicing, the band launches into their pretty solid slab of..uh...concrete-like hard music. The guitars crunch and flail away with tightness. The chugging riffs could be a tad tighter drum-wise, but this band is not sloppy. The vocals get rapped out with some decent funk. This is a good record. I love it. Fans of groovecore, hardcore, and metal will find the power here!
