The Domestics are a four-piece hardcore punk band from the unlikely enclave of East Anglia, and this is their fourth studio album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Formed in 2011, they have made a name for themselves with their fast, aggressive brand of hardcore and their incendiary live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Influenced by the US, Japanese and Swedish scenes, they sing angry socio-political songs with catchy, shout-along choruses, but remain quintessentially English due to the Essex tones of vocalist James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
East Anglian Hardcore<\/em> is not only the name of this album, it’s the genre they’ve become the premier exponents of, and this is 14 slices of furious hardcore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After experimenting on recent releases such as the 11-minute No Life<\/em> from a split 12in with Pizzatramp, the band return to the full-on raging hardcore which they made their name with, assaulting the senses with 14 songs in less than 18 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It opens with the almost-instrumental Konichiwa, Fuckers!<\/em>, which is one of six tracks that don’t even make the one-minute mark (it’s Japanese for ‘hello’ if you were wondering) and leads straight into Burnt Out <\/em>(about having to graft for a living).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
