Broccoli - Relent / 100 Days And Counting (7" / Rugger Bugger Discs / DUMP 30 / 1995)
01 - Relent - This is the slow side or so it says on the record and here we're confronted with a bleak tale in a very heavy Leatherface style. Grant's vocals are amazing on everything I've heard and this is no exception. They turn Broccoli from merely a good band into an exceptional band. This song is cold and I don't know why. It's just a feeling.
02 - 100 Days And Counting - Back in Leatherface / Jawbreaker territory here. Fast, tricky guitar with emotive vocals over the top. Pretty good but not particularly memorable. I am talking about Broccoli here though and one of their "pretty good" songs ranks highly on the overall scale of things. Nice harmonies towards the end of the song.
8 / 10
