Hardcore punk solo project Gorilla Knifefight has an album out on Loopy Scoop Tapes – his second of the year. It’s an ass-kicker with plenty of feedback and fierce riffage where each cut comes at you like a fiery blast. Matt Glassel sings about rock n’ roll being alive and well, sweating profusely, looking for an off switch on his mind, and Milwaukee pride among other things. The song “Smile Another Day” is dedicated to Glassel’s late brother in rock n’ roll, Nathan Hughes. “Certified High Speed” is full of heart for one’s community, passion for punk ethos, and distaste for the bullshit.
