Review by G. W. Hill
The music on this disc is raw punk rock. It's high energy, full of angst and very tasty. Parental advisories abound here. This is definitely not emo - or even close to it. It's real punk and quite strong at that.

ESE - All In {Sudden Death} I know zero about this lot apart from the fact they're a four-piece and, judging by their names and album artwork, are of Hispanic origins. What you get is a dozen tracks of raucous, attitude-laced Punk Rock 'n' Roll that fuses the HC elements of RF7 with the Garage goo of ZEROS but cranked out with a relentlessness that matches ANNIHILATION TIME! Highlights include opener ;Badass Fatass', 'Pissed Off' which mirrors POISON IDEA in its belligerent nihilism and 'The Difference' that could easily be a prime-time MOTORHEAD outtake. Elsewhere there are covers of 'Guacamole' by TEXAS TORNADOS and a spirited blast through NAKED RAYGUN's 'Got New Dreams'. Certainly seems these guys like to party and I'm sure they'd enjoy a tour with THE HIP PRIESTS if the opportunity arose. One for all the boozers, rockers and reprobates. (25.01.16)

All In: CD
Ese are straight-up trashy, punk rock'n'roll madness. Are they Texas's answer to Zeke? They very well might be. All I know for sure is that breakneck speeds and blistering guitars are definitely on the menu and I am looking for seconds. Truth be told, they really remind me of a great local (Victoria, BC) band that has been going since the late '90s called The Sweathogz. All big guitars and getting wasted. Good stuff. -Ty Stranglehold (Sudden Death)
