Rat Cage - Hypocrite City

    


  File under short, fast and noisy as fuck... 

  Rat Cage (https://www.facebook.com/ratcagehc/) are a hardcore punk band from Sheffield who earlier this year released one of 2020's most brutal albums. It was titled Screams From The Cage (https://ratcage.bandcamp.com/album/screams-from-the-cage) and was likened to a steel girder to the forehead. It was also described as slamming a firm British stamp on the classic Swedish Hardcore blueprint. 

  Going off the evidence presented by the song you'll find below, 2021 won't see them reining things in any... 

  The song is a taster for an upcoming split 12" that they'll be unleashing in collaboration with Macedonian band, Nervous SS. The album will be titled Skopje Vs Sheffield and it's going to be out on February 15th on La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. Both bands contribute half a dozen songs each, 5 originals and a cover (Rat Cage will covering the UK Subs classic Emotional Blackmail whilst Nervous SS cover New Police State's  Мртов Војник). You can pre order the vinyl version (on red or black) here :  https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/skopje-vs-sheffield 


  On this track, Rat Cage vocalist Bry Suddaby gives an impressive throat shredding performance and he's ably backed by a band that take no prisoners. This is Hypocrite City...
