I
like Harvey Dent. In fact, I’ve always
liked Harvey Dent. Whether it is as a
villain in the DC Universe or as a band, I just think Harvey Dent is cool. And
these songs on their self-titled EP are a mixture of screamo and that fine line
between indie rock and math rock.
When
you think of screamo, you might think more of emotion than the power of being
able to play your instruments, but Harvey Dent kicks off the second side of
this tape with an instrumental number which just proves that they can hold
their own when playing songs with talent.
In
some ways, this is like a faster version of Silent Drive (In the way that the
vocals are stretched out, but Harvey Dent definitely has more of a punk quality
to them than Silent Drive, who in their own right does have punk rock
qualities) I’ve said it before, but I
really do feel as if hardcore slept for a while and now it is awake again.
This
cassette just further proves my theory that hardcore can exist on cassette and
still sound amazing and hardcore in general is not dead but only growing
stronger. Bring back the hardcore demo
tape, y’all!!
