True Love from good 'ol state of Michigan bring some of the most solid Hardcore tracks i've heard in the past few years. Sounding like demo's that American Nightmare didn't use when recording "Background Music", True Love put out very fast and aggressive music with very poetic lyrics to tie it all together in a astonishing output.
When first coming in contact with the band and seeing the name True Love along with the artwork and title "A Floral Note," I was set to write them off thinking it was another shitty Metalcore/Screamo/"Melodic Hardcore" type of bands that sound like shit covered in shit but...dammit do i feel like a dumb ass. Truly never judge a book by a cover. AND mad props to True Love for not doing something a bit different with the art work.
As if sounding like they grabbed a bunch of Hardcore records from the early 2000's wasn't enough, the fact that this EP clocks in around the five and half minutes makes it so much more sweet. So short, but so sweet, and plays through amazingly to the point where I almost don't want to put in on shuffle at all.
At times it's hard to really push a new band to anyone, especially in Hardcore or Punk, but I think "A Floral Note" is a easy push, and one that needs to be done. If this is just the beginning for the band, then I can not wait to see what else comes out of these dudes.
