Muscle - "Carpenter"

Hardcore can be a very repetitive genre, so it's always refreshing to hear something new. Baltimore's Muscle have a refreshing take on the sound. Their latest single, "Carpenter," is an under two minute burst of heavy groove. The band consists of vocalist Madison Coan (who commands almost all attention with both her screaming and singing), bass player Quentin Gibeau, and drummer Adam Farkas. "Carpenter" is a pure industrial sounding racket coated with a heavy layer of fuzz. It sounds like a combination of Girls Against Boys meets The Gits and then amped by by a near infinite limit. At times it even almost borders on dance music. As loud and abrasive as Muscle can be, "Carpenter" is also oddly melodic in its own way.
