Illiterates - We're Coming Out

    

  Illiterates are a hardcore punk band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who surfaced in 2019 with a pretty damn impressive Demo before following it up 6 months later with the 5 track Fall Tape. 

  And now they're back with a debut album which more than lives up to expectations.

  It's titled LP (or I suppose it's possibly just self titled?) and it features a dozen tracks which race through from opener LB Scheme to the closing Replacements cover in the blink of an eye (or about 12 minutes if you're counting). 

  It's the kind of hardcore I like. Fast, furious and hard hitting but with just enough melody to make it easily accessible. Yesterday's guest reviewer Ralph reckons he's getting an early Poison Idea vibe from it and I'm not going to argue with him. It's available on vinyl or as a name your price download :   https://illiteratespgh.bandcamp.com/album/lp

  This is the cover. We're coming Out... 

One more chance to get it all wrong
One more chance to get it all wrong
One more night to do it all wrong
One more warning
One more warning sound
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
We're comin' out

One more day anyway
One more chance anyway
One more night anyway
Anyway
Anyway
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
We're comin' out

One more chance to get it all wrong
One more time to do it all wrong
One more night to get it half right
One more warning
One more warning sound

We're comin' out
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
