Strike of the Week, Vol. 2 #2: Social Circkle "I've Got Afflictions" EP




Social Circkle is up this week for the strike, one of Boston's own. We could write a review, but Doug Mosurock at Dusted Magazine does a better job. Get it, if you can.

"Second single, new guitarist, pretty different approach overall, but Social Circkle still treads on. Gone is the clean guitar of the demo, and abated are the straight lines and the slower, more Anglophilic notions of the first EP. Here the Crickle plows straight into more modern hardcore territory, blazing through four new tracks with almost no room for breath until the more solid, piecemeal riffage of closer “I Don’t Want” takes hold. Still pretty great, just different than before; makes me wonder how their ideas might translate to a full-length. 2000 copies, first 200 on clear."--Doug Mosurock, Still Single, dustedmagazine.com
