Demo Review: Face the Pain "Demo 2024" (Rebirth Records) by Devin J. Meaney

Band: Face the Pain
Country: USA
Genre: Straightedge hardcore
Demo: Demo 2024
Format: Digital, vinyl
Label: Rebirth Records
Release date: May 30, 2024
Scrolling through the underbelly of YouTube I found Demo 2024 by “Face the Pain”! This is an upload from xBrutalYouth666x—an account that I have only recently found. Their uploads seem to be decent enough so I threw on this demo to see what was being offered.
The hardcore is pretty standard—but the production and the musicianship are both more than passable. Featuring five short tracks and clocking in at about eight minutes I can say that for fans of old-school sounding hardcore planning to give this a listen it would be more than worth your while!
These guys are straight edge and hail from the USA. You can find them on YouTube and Bandcamp—and probably a slew of other places on the web. To make a close I will just say that I enjoyed this demo and after midnight on a Saturday it quenched the thirst for something short and blasting and provided an up-beat musical adventure to end my evening before returning to the universe of ambience!
