The new EP from Bristol’s Perp Walk is a grade-A example of punk-leaning hardcore. Off the back of gigs with Punitive Damage, Fucked Up and Sheer Terror, this release on pink vinyl shows a band in impressive form. With regular shifts in speed and queasy guitars, The Chain of Infection is striking for its skillfully crafted approach. It’s a jarring, rager of a record played with precision, that doesn’t let you get comfortable - nor should it. Don’t hold back! - Charlie Murphy
