| Album Review: B+ |
Hardcore is more than just a genre: it's a lifestyle. It is a set of experiences that make or break a person, and those experiences further shape worldviews, political outlooks, and opening eyes to social norms that accompany a scene of brotherhood and comradery. Los Angeles hardcore act Rotting Out have taken the emotion, aggression, and experience collected from their lives, built upon it, and released their second LP
The Wrong Way. The relentless album spans about twenty-six minutes of pure punk as narratives of loss, self-reflection, and abuse which culminate into one of the most vital hardcore records of the year.
