Where Did We Go Wrong

One more 2024 release before we hit the nightmare blog post that tries to summarize the entire year.
Like some of the other new releases this year, I initially wasn't too excited about rushing out to pick up the new Berthold City. I was stuck listening to other new finds at the time, so I wasn't fussed about listening to it immediately... plus the vinyl from War Records tends to look like ass, so if they all look terrible then there is no need to be worry about getting the most limited version. Still, as we started to approach the end of the year, and I started thinking about lists and rankings, I knew that Berthold City was going to be in there with the top hardcore records, so I figured that I'd better get my hands on a copy.
Where Did We Go Wrong falls right in line with the last Berthold City record... just well done straight forward hardcore. The style seems rare these days, unless I'm just not paying close enough attention, but when a band does it this good, you know that it will be getting a lot of playing time from me (you know, when I'm not too obsessed over bands like The Cure and Karate).
