REVIEWS

20BE
author: Unbound Zine
What if I told you that the first song, Breakthrough, on this album was one of the best metal infused hardcore songs I have ever heard? Then I'd have to tell you that the remaining 4 songs are just as good, at which point you'd ask me who the hell is 20 Bulls Each? The simple answer, 20 Bulls Each is an Irish hardcore band that you need to hear. In a time when bands are easily defined, 20 Bulls Each definitely stands out. Each song brings in new ideas and unlike most hardcore bands the style does change throughout. New York style hardcore, straight ahead metal riffs, oi and even melodic punk similar to Rise Against combines to form the 20 Bulls Each sound. The band manages to make each style work well and combines them quite effortlessly. 20 Bulls Each are breaking new ground and thankfully they realize that combining metal and hardcore doesn't always need to sound like metalcore. You won't find any breakdowns or Swedish riffs here and that is a good thing. If a combination of Sick of It All, Rancid and Rise Against piques your interest, 20 Bulls Each is definitely a band to look into.
