With a name like Folsom and a Townes Van Zandt sample in the opening track, these Las Vegas natives don’t hide the fact that they sure do like their country music. On “Hammer Lane” it’s all tough-as-nails hardcore though. Not that I have a problem with that, I like both styles. And when they throw in a bit of mouth organ at the end of “Better Days”, I’m all for it.
Mixing up metallic hardcore with a bit of street punk, Folsom sounds a bit like Death Before Dishonor and Blood For Blood. Not the worst bands to be compared to I can imagine. And they’re onto something with that country angle, I’m really digging the little references and stuff. Pretty solid stuff… honest, passionate and energetic as fuck!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
