about

"Some pretty fuming hardcore, with more than a slight nod to Stoke’s favourite scruffbags DISCHARGE. A veritable who’s who of contemporary hardcore with alumni from LOST LEGION, CIDADÃO, and FUERZA BRUTA, which should be enough to whet your whistle. Furious and scuzzy raging against the dying of the light. Good gear."

Ben Marshall • Maximum Rocknroll #483 • August 2023

"We carried a demo from Chicago’s War Effort a while back, and I remember the band said they wrote and recorded the entire tape in a single day. Path to Glory, while still straightforward and uncomplicated in its approach, sounds more composed and refined, at least by comparison. Something about this sounds midwestern as fuck to me… maybe it’s because the singer resembles John Brannon in places, or maybe it’s because War Effort also makes me think of Punch in the Face’s brand of “dumb hardcore” (that’s really not that dumb). But, as a few writers have noted, there’s also a distinct Discharge influence; just listen to the way the verse riff in “Connection Severed” alternates between Broken Bones chug and Negative Approach swing. I love the production too, which has a fuzzy but beefy sound and captures a confident but unfussy performance. A six-song 7” of purist hardcore like this is a format close to my heart, and War Effort does it proud here."

Sorry State Newsletter • 09/18/2023

"Discharge drumbeats married to a sound that falls between Blood Pressure and Negative Approach. Tough-as-titanium hardcore: loud, aggressive, and seriously pissed. File under "Heavy rotation."

Jimmy Alvarado • Razorcake #136
