Review: Strength Approach - Roma Hardcore State of Mind

Strength Approach seems to be one of the longest running bands from Italy, I even remember that one of their tracks was featured on the classic Call For Unity compilations by Back Ta Basics. It’s good to see them still going strong! The band makes absolutely no effort to hide their influences and the whole thing speaks of NYHC sound, bringing to mind classic albums we all grew up on. While their early releases were more youth crew oriented, in recent years their style progressed towards harder sound. It combines the rawness of Agnostic Front with energy of Sick Of It All, but they put their own spin on everything so it’s cool and the tracks don’t feel forced.

Listen to new Strength Approach track!

"It's Our Time" features guest vocals by Craig Setari of Sick of It All and is the first song off the upcoming Strength Approach "Roma Hardcore State of Mind" EP, out soon on a limited edition 7" picture disc. Listen to "It's Our Time" at GlueHC. Produced by Mitts of NY's legendary Madball and recorded by Alex JM at Hell Smell Studios, this EP serves as a tribute to the band's hometown, the eternal city of Roma, and marks another brand new chapter in the band's 17 years of shredding stages worldwide, living and breathing hardcore. The release of their EP will be followed by extensive touring all over Europe.
