Jump The Shark – Staring Death


I always thought of Florida as a place where old people go to die but there are some competent hardcore bands around and none of them feature senior citizens. Jump The Shark’s tunes might cause a couple of heart attacks though as they race through the sixteen songs on “Staring Death” with a typical 80s hardcore aesthetic. Only occasionally slowing down to have a drink or whatever, they floor it for the rest of the album which makes me wonder if maybe they need to reconsider their daily dose of Ritalin.

The songs all start to blend together after a while but they’re building ‘em from a fine blueprint so there’s nothing too wrong with that.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
