Description
Soulside – “A Brief Moment in the Sun” LP
Twelve new songs from one of the best Washington DC hardcore bands of all time, recently reformed and reactivated. Recorded in late 2021 by J. Robbins (with a little extra input from Ian MacKaye) at Magpie Cage Studio in Baltimore. I haven’t heard the entire album, just the three songs that are available on bandcamp – does it sound like Souside? as far as I can tell, yes absolutely…. a very natural progression from Hot Bodi Gram (even though that last album was 23 years ago!), and also an obvious continuation of what we heard on the recent This Ship 7″.
“A Brief Moment in the Sun is a narrative LP, full of stories: some based on Bobby’s personal experiences and others addressing volatile socio-political themes, including an historical perspective on racial oppression in the United States. In both the music and the lyrics, this new album picks up where Soulside left off years ago—but with zero nostalgia in the mix.”
