One, they have a Civil War thing going on. Who won the war? I’m not sure, half the lyrics are obscured with a distortion effect, and the chorus is just “heys” and “ohs”.īy the end of the song a few things about the band become clear. It is the sound of chaos, intentionally mimicking a marching army before hoisting us into a triumphal crescendo of brass. “War,” the first track on this EP, begins like what that Hardcore band sounds in my memory. The brass section has the power to please, so when it’s put to good use like on the new self-titled EP from Jesus on the Mainline, it’s more than a pleasure. It explains the enduring popularity of ska and the whimsy of Oom-Pah bands (like the one in Reed’s “Goodnight Ladies”). And I came to believe in a loose rule: People love brass sections. I forget the name of the band, but I was excited when they came around. After an assault of palm muted riffs there would come the brass section playing these melodic phrases until the band started chugging back into the original verses. It was like any of the others, except the brass section. And while I wasn’t a fan of most, there was one band that I enjoyed. Some hardcore bands would play the teen center where I volunteered. To this day, I can’t find much I personally like in it. It was abrasive and monotone -not unlike the lesser moments on Lou Reed and Metallica ’s Lulu if Lou screamed from his belly the entire time. In the early 2000s, Hardcore was gaining in popularity.
