Hitting like a West Yorkshire stone brick to the back of the head, is the first EP from Leeds’ Motive. Brainchild of one Harry Townend, melding the noise of 80’s UKHC and Swedish Hardcore to spew out a bastard son of The Varukers and Crude SS. Controlled Confusion is the soundtrack for today’s skate youth who were lucky enough to find Discharge and Anti-Cimex under all the dust and rubble, and carve a path away from the capitalism and corporatism that infects the scene in 2023. Crank this thing up, slash a grind at the park. Grosso would approve. – B.Suddaby
