Allout Helter-Sinking, We Regress-CD Review
by Tim Wenger
Local punk rock hard hitters Allout Helter have finally given us the full-length we’ve all been waiting for. It kicks into gear immediately with “Assume the Imposition,” which, in true Helter form, is a merciless, maybe even satirical, call to social action. The rest of the album follows suit, remaining focused on their cause of, in the words of one Doctor Hunter S. Thompson, “exposing the bastards.”
Melodically, the group showcases solid guitar work and a driving drum beat that remain prominent from the opener all the way through “Darkest Days,” yielding only to front man Ross Hostage’s powerful voice delivering their message through astoundingly easy to understand lyrics. This is, of course, a plus, because what good is the message if no one knows what the hell is being said.
