Under The Western Heel splices in some of the hardest, challenging, and chaotic slabs of menacing, and altogether fun-packed moments of frantic, sweat-soaked punk rock and walls of alienating, challenging noise.
Rest Easy, Rick Froberg.
“There ain’t nothing for it
What else can you do
Nothing to work with
Nothing to lose
It is what it is
It ain’t gonna improve

Nothing to lose
Take it or leave it
Do both if you choose”

Regal Cheer consists of Max and Harry, a guitar and drum duo from Brighton who also shout themselves hoarse over the brief, but blistering 17 and half minutes that Cans has to offer.
Keep It Fast’s Top 10 Albums of 2022
Here are my top 10 albums of 2022 and some choice words on several EPs that I have enjoyed over the last year or so.

Care Home – Assisted Living (Part 1)
Who are the band Care Home and why should you, well, care? Well, for one thing, it contains ex-members of Red Stars Parade, USA Nails, Whores Whores Whores, Year of the Man and False Flags.

TRAPS – The Fighter EP
TRAPS are made up of current members of Holy Roar roster-botherers, OHHMS (all hail the riffs) and feel like the indignant and bratty little brother to these Kent-based doom merchants.
