Stigmatism – S/T EP 7” (Beach Impediment Records)
New York and Montreal's Stigmatism (featuring current and past members of Omegas, Lethal, S.H.I.T, Justice, and Mati) plays a style of music that pays tribute to the Rat Cage Records era of New York City punk and hardcore without sounding like an old and stale tribute band. They give fans of the genre exactly what they want, intense blasts filled with hooks, heavy breakdowns, and lyrics that call attention to the consistent unending rise of antisemitism, fascism, and police corruption currently plaguing New York City.
9 songs of total United Blood worship. By the crushing breakdown that comes less than 20 seconds into the first track you’ll have a clear idea of what Stigmatism does and how good they are at doing it. Bands who say they’re influenced by Agnostic Front are a dime a dozen, but few make use of the stylistic tropes of the United Blood era that Stigmatism adopt: things like playing any given part about half as long as you expect them to; unexpected and non-intuitive shifts in tempo; and jagged, non-linear songwriting.
