The horse and sparrow theory

"It's the little things that count, someone once said. And it's the tiny alterations, additions, subtractions and shifting Victims do to their sonic homestead that inject The Horse and Sparrow Theory with enough of an edge to keep them tied to their roots but liable to be called out for doing too much different than the unwritten rule books of punk rock allows. For those that don't care, Victims has just released one of the most exciting crust/D-beat records in recent memory and you'd be wise to check it out before we're all done like dinner".

"De svenske crust-veteraner har gennem årene fornyet og nuanceret deres D-takt lige nøjagtig nok til, at den ikke kører i stampe men ej heller ikke svigter sit udgangspunkt, og det fortsætter de med på `The Horse and Sparrow Theory' ... Det her kunne man godt bare høre fra nu af og til Mortensaften. Eller bare indtil Victims føjer en ny plade til diskografien med nye variationer af den klassiske opskrift".

"Sweden's VICTIMS have been cruising through their near 20 year career purveying some of the more interesting musical cuts from the d-beat and hardcore genres. Fusing their sound with the metallic pedigree of their homeland, VICTIMS have refined their musical approach to a crusty T over their career. This is no different with their latest album, The Horse & Sparrow Theory, the bands seventh outing and first for Relapse Records ... VICTIMS have written some of the most politically powerful, crust covered, d-beat filled hardcore of the year".
