Rat-Nip: Demo Cassette
Blazing hardcore from the fine city of Pittsburgh!
Our take: Itās been a gnarly month for Pittsburgh hardcore releases, but I hope you havenāt reached your listening limit because Rat Nip are just as much worth your time as Loose Nukes, Drug Lust, or Detainees. While all of those bandsĀ clearly take a lot of influence from 80s US punk and hardcore, they each have their own take on the sound. Rat Nip is a little heavier and slightly metallic, and when you combine that with the gritty recording on this demo you have something that reminds me a lot of early material by New York hardcore bands like the Abused, the Mob, and Agnostic Front (though other heavier, meaner hardcore bands like SS Decontrol or DCās Youth Brigade could also serve as references). Five songs, six minutes, and a complete absence of bullshit. Highly recommended if you like hardcore.
