CRIMINAL DAMAGE - "CALL OF DEATH" LP

12" LP
OUT OF STOCK
















CRIMINAL DAMAGE
CALL OF DEATH
LP

Three things that always come up in a Criminal Damage review:

1.  includes ex- Tragedy/His Hero Is Gone/Deathreat
2.  inspired by/sounds like Blitz
3.  some variation of the word "nostalgia"

...all in a good way...and I wouldn't stray too far from that summary of Criminal Damage, except to add that since they're from Portland, you know they must be cool.  Street Punk for the 21st century;  Oi without all the "oi-oi-oi!"s.  Anger plus volume, with hefty amounts of shout-along liberation.  Call Of Death is probably their most solid work to date...if you haven't already started, this is as good of a place as any.
