Attn: anyone who thinks modern hardcore is dying. You’re wrong. To every jaded old head out there who doesn’t give a damn anymore, here’s your inspiration. Four guys (kids really), all between 17 and 21, have managed to capture the best of the old and imbue it with something that has been sorely lacking in the new; passion. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt sincerely moved by anything in the genre, but I can’t listen to this record without getting pumped. Heavy, fast, passionate hardcore by dudes who actually care about the music that they’re making is exactly what we need more of right now.

Do yourself a favor and pick this up. I believe there are still some of the first pressings of the 7” left, which can be order via the bands myspace page or from the band themselves at any one of their upcoming shows. At any rate, anyone with an interest in hardcore owes it to themselves to check these guys out. The band is getting ready to head out on a short east coast jaunt with Burdens from PA, so I’m sure most of you could make it out to at least one of these shows.

Cut Short has put out one of the most solid new hardcore records I’ve heard in a long time. It should be enough to reinvigorate even the mosted jaded of us. You’re going to have a hard time listening to this and not getting excited about hardcore again.
