Year: 2010
7" EP • Retail: Euro 3.50
VICIOUS IRENE are 4 young Ladies hailing from Gothenburg (Sweden), formed in 2001 and busy touring Scandinavia, Europe and even recently the USA with their uniquely blend of shredding Crust meets Grunge(!)
This new 7”, recorded in 2008, is their fifth release to date and delivers a blistering and massive mixture of Punk Rock with some odd early nineties "L7" or “Lunachicks” based Grunge influence , creating a wall of grooves and monster riffs while beating it all into bits and pieces with a harsh and uncompromising (early) Discharge / D-Beat overtone simply made to kick your ass!
Dual Vocals pointing social political message on this 4 Songs EP (CD Version will have one more...) that easily can make you rave with fists in the air and annoying your Neighbors never was such Fun before!
All put together on this slap of 7" Vinyl including great photography by Christina Bloom and Artwork from Igor Absorte.
Make sure you check out their Website and catch them Live whenever you have the chance!
" Vicious Irene from Sweden are a 4 piece female melodic hardcore band, that have been going since 2001 however this is the first release of theirs that I have heard and I want more, from the beginning this is a savage release with a nice up tempo drum beat leading to what seems like something by a D-Beat band but before they kick in to "A Constant Fight" a song about equality for females in this macho bullshit scene of ours. The solid drumming continues throughout the 7" being the backbone of the record, the guitar brings in some nice simple but deadly riffs which give a real rocking hardcore sound, and the female melodic singing/shouting giving the real melodic feel to the record and with a couple of members joining at times to create a gang chorus. My favourite song has got to be the final track 'Hysteria' just a real kicking track that slows down during the chorus bringing this kinda grungy kinda feel before kicking back to full throttle again before finally bowing out with a slow kinda grungy sound once again.
Really really deadly 7" every track is amazing and is a solid in every way. Deadly!!!!" - D-BEATER WEBZINE (Link)
