OFF!

Artist- OFF!
Album- The First Four EPs
Label- Vice
Genre- Hardcore


The long-awaited hardcore punk project of Keith Morris (Circle Jerks/Black Flag), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), and Mario Rubalcaba (Rocket From the Crypt/Earthless). It’s pretty amazing, clocking in 16 songs at just about 20 minutes, but unfortunately this is pretty FCC dirty. The Raymond Pettibon (Black Flag, SY’s Goo) album art is perfect. OFF! sounds like the perfect dose of revival 80’s West Coast hardcore, leaning heavily on influences of Morris’ work in Black Flag and Circle Jerks mostly. I highly recommend this, but admittedly it’s not for everyone.
