Unkind - Crustie Not Hippies

Review by Nicky Burch

Crustie Not Hippies is the latest album release by Finnish hardcore punk band, Unkind. The album features ten tracks that showcase the band's signature sound of aggressive riffs and politically charged lyrics.

From the opening track, "Koulutettu Epäonnistumaan," Unkind sets the tone for the album with a relentless barrage of heavy riffs and pounding drums. The band's sound is raw and unapologetic, with each track delivering a powerful punch.

The album's standout tracks include "Kuoleva," a slow-burning track that builds to a crushing climax, and "Syyttäjä," which features a blistering guitar solo that perfectly complements the song's intense energy.

Lyrically, Crustie Not Hippies is a scathing critique of society and politics, with songs like "Kurjuuden Kuningas" addressing issues of inequality and oppression. The album's title track, "Crustie Not Hippies," is a rallying cry for the punk community, urging listeners to reject conformity and stand up for their beliefs.

Summary by Nicky Burch

Crustie Not Hippies is an impressive album that showcases Unkind's talent for creating powerful and socially conscious punk rock. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed.
