I never heard a hardcore band playing so fast, noisy, and yet melodic. Maybe Ink & Dagger or Planes Mistaken For Stars. But I must admit, Glass & Ashes are quite original for being so small. So I hope they will go big. Anyhow, the new LP on No Idea, “Aesthetic Arrest”, is a fist in your clean face. The disc is opnened by “Black Beneath The Eyes”, that will introduce you if the wonderful noisy world of GLASS & ASHES: fast riffs, melodic vocals filled with screams and a lot of angry verses. “Dead On Arrival”, “The Art Of Selling” and “Bloody Knuckles” are the best hardcore anthems of the disc, but the whole album is to be hear, especially for the high level of social aware content.
