Cracked Vessel - No Path (2016)

I used to live in Minneapolis. Over the nearly 5 years I lived there, I got used to the cold. I drove around in a Subaru. I was not hardcore. All of the people who got around year-round on bicycles were and are some of the most hardcore urban dwellers I have ever encountered. Mad respect. I am not surprised but I am very pleased that Chicago metal/punk/scream-crust band Cracked Vessel has apparently made an entire concept album about biking in Chicago under all weather and season. This is indeed a fitting topic and execution thereof. Hail The Midwest Bikers. <3 <3 <3 nathaxn
