Hooligan Jihad, released November 23rd<\/sup> 2012, by Last Under The Sun is fast-paced hardcore punk that doesn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n

Last Under The Sun is a four-piece band based out of Birmingham England<\/a>. They performed their first show in October of 2001, and continued to play in Holland, Belgium, France and Germany. Over the years, two of their drummers passed away: Neil Farrington in 2009 and Samuel Fry in 2011.<\/p>\n

The five-song album starts off with \u201cMore Helicopters\u201d which has a strong anti-war message, clearly stated in the lyrics \u201cI don\u2019t wanna die in your fucking war,\u201d and finishes with a two minute sum up of the album in their song \u201cHooligan Jihad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The instrumentation in this album is solid. The beats are fast and in your face, clearly synced well through the many years of musicianship this band has shared. They blend punk and hardcore nicely, in that when they\u2019re not blasting away their punk beats, they\u2019re getting you moving with a breakdown.<\/p>\n

However, with the good comes the bad. The lead vocals don\u2019t seem to fit with the punk feeling of the songs. They are hard and raw; almost a blend of the punk and the hardcore, which would fit better if they created slightly less dissonance with some of the melodic sections of the music.<\/p>\n

Overall, Last Under The Sun doesn\u2019t disappoint. They are a fast, raw, in your face blend that is sure to appeal to punk and hardcore fans alike. Be sure to check out their videos for \u201cMore Helicopters\u201d and \u201cOk Bye\u201d below, both of which were created by the band.<\/p>\n
