Haram: Where Were You on 9/11? 7"
Brand new 7" from NYC's Haram!
Our take: Latest 7â from this much talked-about New York band. Haram are a very important band for a lot of reasons. Their singerâs perspective as an Arab is one that has been underrepresented in punk and punk-influenced music, and theyâre willing to bring that perspective to bear on controversial, even taboo, topics like 9/11. The lyrics to the EPs title track are great, articulating how that event affected the singer as a child attending a Christian school outside New York. Haramâs words are worth pondering, but I wouldnât give their strength as musicians short shrift. Theyâve been a powerful band since they started, but they grow more adventurous with each release. Moments like when the title track winds down to a steady drum pulse and some abstract guitar noodles, or the swirling guitar lead that starts âBomb in the Skyâ are as great as anything on the many great records that Toxic State has released over the years. Haram is, without a doubt, one of the most important bands of this generation of punk, and if you arenât following them closely, youâre doing it wrong.
