Wanting to take part in my usual zine support but not wanting to listen to a full-length album I typed “punk demo 2024” into the YouTube search bar. After a very quick search (I did notice a lot of new uploads) I came upon Demo 2024 by Entrenched!
This is listed as “hardcore crossover” and that makes sense. While the hardcore vibes are very evident, there is a strong leaning towards thrash. The vocals and the musicianship are both great, and the production is well put together. Grainy enough to induce those underground headbangs but having enough clarity to stand next to professional thrash/hardcore acts.
The demo is just under six minutes long so I won’t ramble too much. But anyone digging those “thrashcore” units should give these guys a listen. I listened to the demo twice so I obviously didn’t regret clicking the link—and neither will you! -Devin J. Meaney
