Glass & Ashes - Selftitled

SoCal hardcore outfit Glass and Ashes come screaming out of the gate on their explosive second album, defying the sophomore curse that plagues oh-so-many punk bands. The ten songs on this self-titled disc keep close to the formula the group laid down nearly four (!) years ago on Aesthetic Arrest, but unsurprisingly, the lengthy interim between albums has seen the group become both smarter and stronger. Blistering tracks like “To the Point of Paralysis” and “Exit Wound” still recall an unhinged attack that’s similar to Planes Mistaken for Stars, but G&A is wound far tighter, with an advanced sense of complexity. Those math-y tendencies get a great airing on longer, more structured cuts like “We Will Hang for This” and the seven-and-a-half minute track “The Rebuttal” that closes out the album. But although G&A have grown wiser, they’re still possessed of the same riotous energy that’s helped garner them a considerable live reputation over the years.
