Review: Caulfield - Vanity (Beat)

 

Sydneysiders Caulfield enter their debut, Vanity, to a packed out and ever filling hardcore scene.  It squeezes in snugly, too. Searing, pounding guitars anchor Amity Affliction-checking vocals penned in A Letter to Myself One Year Ago. Machine beats pulse through Sour Grapes, raging against the dwindling dubstep light. Their middle runs on a hamster wheel of alternating clean/scream vocals and obligatory breakdowns. They hop off, cobbling ‘90s pop-punk off cuts into Something from Nothing. A danceable G.Y.S.T holds the line as only their last handful of cuts do any advancing.
