Another record that I've had in my hands for a while now, but have been slow to blog about is the latest Unified Action 7 inch, This Is A War. The delay in posting this record is due to my own stubbornness. See, I want to listen to a record a few times before I post about it, but since the vinyl didn't come with a download code, I couldn't find the songs on soulseek, and they aren't available on Spotify... I simply hadn't listened to it. I mean, what am I supposed to do, actually use my turntable? Gasp! The horror and inconvenience! Thankfully, after struggling for months to get my hands on the digital files for these songs, I was finally able to solve that problem... so here we are.
Unified Action knows what they want to do. They aren't going to fuck around with cool and trendy hardcore styles. They are here to just pummel you from start to finish with harsh and angry early 80's inspired hardcore. Oh you like Negative Approach? Get this record and find out.
I'm really glad to have this record. I know that the band went through some trouble getting it released as the original label seemed to flake on them after the initial preorders went up. Can't be an easy thing for a band to jump on to social media and tell everyone to cancel their orders, and then quickly try to find someone else to get the record pressed. Bad experience for the band, but hopefully it didn't cause too much disruption and people check this record out because it rages.
