Bane – Don’t Wait Up

Originally published on Alt Media

Knowing Don’t Wait Up was to be their fourth and final album has allowed hardcore punk band Bane to reflect introspectively on their journey together.

Non-Negotiable and All The Way Through open the album in signature hardcore fashion with screeching guitar and heavy double-time drumming accompanying old-school, screaming vocals.

The formula follows throughout before delving into emotional last track Final Backward Glance where the tone becomes more conversational as the band reflects on their journey and evolution.

Lyrically this album is outstanding, exploring some very deep emotional issues whilst maintaining the uncompromising vibe.
