Short Days
“Direction Nowhere” (Destructure Records, 2024)
Music reviews do not always need to be long and heavy, difficult to understand and pseudo-intelligent; they can simply be immediate and straight to the point. A bit like the music I like, at times. French Hardcore Punk is one of those scenes I adore. The language is one of the things I love, but the way the French structure their music... it sounds so romantic, at times. Odd, right? We do not expect a romantic sounding band, and the word "romantic" might be misplaced here, but... understand some will. So yeah, let's go!
Guess who is back? Well, you might not guess it, but I was not expecting for these lads to be back with new music, but here they are… Short Days is a band from Lille, France, and they play this Hardcore Punk the French way. The fuck is “the French Way”, you ask. Well, now that is a thing you do not teach; that is something you absorb after listening to large amounts of quality Hardcore Punk from the land of the best croissant in the World.
But straight to the point, please. After releasing their first LP in 2017 and considering that opening bass riff as one of the most effective I have ever heard in Hardcore Punk (“Antisocial”), “Direction Nowhere” shows the band picking up where the left. Vocally, it remains the same, and everything else is the same: which is what we want ahahah!
14 tracks of Melodic Hardcore
Punk, with lots of melancholy and mid-tempo beats. I would love to know why
French Punk tends to sound so, I would not say sad, but melancholic. Anyway:
love it and will spread the word about it. Jump on it if you appreciate quality
music.
