Aggressive, angry and political, the latest release from upstate New York's I Object is a fast furious barrage of hardcore punk with a message. Even though the band's messages seem to be their first and foremost priority, they managed to create an album that's great to listen to as well.
Hardcore Punk With A Few Hooks
Teaching Revenge consists of 16 tracks, none over two minutes long, each blasting a new opinion on a different issue. In short bursts of punk rock, the band addresses issues ranging from abortion on "Like a Billboard", to health care on "Sick".
Barb, the frontwoman for I Object, proves that hardcore punk is not a man's world. Her angry snarling vocals are the perfect compliment to the band's driving music. She screams her way through every song, pausing briefly on one song, "Lay It Out", to sing a few lines. It seems like she does it to prove that, yes, she can sing, she just chooses not to. It's a nice touch.
One problem that plagues a lot of hardcore bands is the inability to write a song with any sort of hook at all - the kind of song you'll be singing to yourself when you're not listening to the album. Teaching Revenge doesn't have that problem; there are several songs that are catchy without losing their hardcore edge. Two of the album's catchier songs are "Intra Muros", a song about prison reform, and "The Chosen Profession", a song that champions everyone who struggles with a job they don't like in order to get by. They prove that hardcore doesn't need to get poppy to have a hook.
