Over the last couple years, Boston has seen an influx of new hardcore bands, featuring old and new blood alike. Sunshine Ward, featuring members of Brain Killer, stands a cut above the rest and finally released their demo for public consumption. While a much different band than Brain Killer, Japanese hardcore influences can still be heard. The track Progress, for example, brings to mind Burning Spirits. Regardless of influence, Sunshine Ward is writing quality songs, and songs that should get you into the pit. The demo is available for free download from their bandcamp and physical copies should be available in this week. A track was also contributed to the Cream Of The Crop compilation released earlier this year by Best Before 84.
