'It's a good problem to have when writing a review and one (or more) song is so good that you’re compelled to listen repeatedly. Like the protagonist in Paul Beatty's “Slumberland”, I'm pre-disposed to listen to the same song 100 times, and here this applies to the last two songs on My Turn – “Modern Life’s Massacre”: "State Of Grace" and "Search For Light." If you manage to get unstuck from those two songs, there is plenty of other great moments throughout the EP.
You may already recognize the vocals from Apostolis’s other projects Ghetto Gospel and The Big Takeover. Like with Ghetto Gospel, there’s something about the riffs that reminds me of PA hardcore, plus elements of Madball, Snapcase, Path Of Resistance and the End It demo woven into the mix. While I’m digging the riffs in opener “Indian Eyes” and the well-constructed title track that follows, I like the last four songs the best. Track 3, “Breaks My Heart,” is the first song I can think of that rhymes “cliché” and “passé” which is a welcome respite from hardcore’s ubiquitous “friend/end” pairing.
Raw lyrical themes are threaded throughout the EP, including on “Anguish And Pain” up next. The two last tracks are both highlights: “State Of Grace” abounds with creative flourishes and short moments that you wish would reappear later, but that’s part of the magic of this release that nothing is overemphasized. “Search For Light” is your last chance to mosh, featuring head-nodding riffs and a well-placed China cymbal. Skip the anguish and pain of missing this one, and search for the whole thing on Bandcamp.'
