Strike Back is a Hardcore band from Orange County, California and has had my attention from the very start of their career. This band caught my interest in my days in the local scene because they're not afraid to mix up their sound and they pull their music off very well with their Strike Back EP, which showed the local scene that this isn't a band you want to miss out; with songs such as Average Scum, and my personal favorite song, Hypocrite (featuring James Lindamood of First Degree).
Strike Back's EP tells a story of a damaged individual who's struggling to push forward in life and trying to find themself after a toxic relationship leaves them feeling desolate and lost in life. Eventually, the indvidual comes to accept that sometimes life is hard, and we need to find the bravery within ourselves to keep moving forward and come to the realization that life truly is worth living. This EP struck a chord with me- it conveyed my own struggles and feelings at the time I heard this album.
Strike Back has also released a two song EP called Blind Sight, which is a really good listen. My main complaint about this EP is that there isn't more songs in it, because I'm intrigued to see what course this band is going to take.
Is their any music, movies, comics, etc. you would like me to check out and write about? Leave comments about your thoughts!
