Won't Stay Dead - Vindication [LP]

'Vindication'' is the Red Scare debut from Chicago's Won't Stay Dead, and it's 13 songs of horror punk that comes a-crawling from the same graveyard as Alkaline Trio, The Mis ts, My Chemical Romance, The Damned, and more. Hard-working punks led by dual vocalists, Sa ron and Violet, whose devilish melodies stab like a two-pronged pitchfork. Songs like ''Wicked Plans'' and ''Hack to the Bone'' are both barely 80 seconds in length and proof that these dark rockers are out for swift revenge. WSD have already raised a lot of hell in a short time-playing big shows and getting cool festival o ers. When it comes to new bands, Red Scare doesn't miss, and we expect Won't Stay Dead to spread their witchy ways all across the punk scene... (insert sinister laughter).
