Mouth clamped tight
My tongue burns with a thousand words
You could be my everything
But I won't even make a peep
In my mind
We've lived that dream a hundred times
It was so wonderful
But you don't even know my name
Is this the right place
Could this be the right time
Are we just cheating ourselves
By holding back without everything
If I open up and let you peer inside
I'm afraid you won't like what you find
All these emotions swell like a lake
Behind a dam built for rejection's sake
In silence my thoughts are crime
In silence I'm left behind
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
It's just a banger from start to finish. Old school hardcore in the youth crew tradition. Lyrical positivity. Music that lifts you up. Keep 'em coming. wasclafton
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
