Being the better person is a challenge you can never win. Outsmarting your own kind seemed like such an easy game to play. It’s not even wealth you need, you just want to be the winner for a change. “Now I’m the fucking best” going through your head. “Now I’m the fucking best” you lied to yourself, but you are so fucking wrong. If honour and pride mean so much to you I hope for you that your bullshit holds true. Soon your world will fall apart. Don’t look up to me when you’re lying in the fucking dust.

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
