Boston’s DEPTHS OF REALITY deliver seven songs in just under eleven minutes on their self-titled 7”, the way god intended. With a big tip of the hat to 1980’s NYHC but incorporating the more metal/grind influences of INFEST and ABSOLUTION, DEPTHS OF REALITY aren’t content to be another 80s throwback band (lord knows we’ve had enough of those! Hey unimaginative dum dums! Your UNIFORM CHOICE shirt is doing most of the heavy lifting!). No lyrics about being ‘stabbed in the back’ here (even on their song about being stabbed in the back, “Never Again”!?). Intelligent and ready to incite a room full of spin-kicks, DEPTHS OF REALITY raise the bar for what it means to be a hardcore band in the year 2017. Available at their shows and soon from Xpressions Records.
