HONDURAN
Street Eagles
Eolian Empire
30 July 2013
HONDURAN is from Portland, Oregon, and comprises guitarist/vocalist Jason Dinges, bassist/vocalist Corey Dieckman, and drummer Kevin Spafford. Since their first show in early 2009 HONDURAN has been on the warpath, playing shows in Portland and throughout the West. They released their debut LP, Language & Violence, in 2009, followed later by a split 7-inch and self-titled 4-song 7-inch. The 11-song, 21-minute Street Eagles LP is their first release for Portland outsider D.I.Y. label and “heavy vibes” merchants Eolian Empire. For us, listening to HONDURAN is like taking a brutal, breakneck-speed but grooved-out trip through our favorite old-school hardcore (Cro Mags, Burn, Inside Out) and early, odd-time Helmet and Prong noise-rock-slash-industrialmetal maxed out and ground into a thick paste polluted with big chunks of Napalm Death grind, Spazz-y powerviolence, and Bay Area thrash... a relentless race against time of brutal hardcore, violent grind, damaged noise rock, fuckered-sludge, and breakdowns, breakdowns, breakdowns. But we're pretty old and don't know shit.
HONDURAN played their first show in early 2009, and since then have been continually and meticulously honing their new-math ground-the-fuck-out hardcore, destroying hearts and minds all along the way with their merciless live executions in dirty basements and backstreet clubs. Their skewed vision of chugging power-crust is a truly adventurous take-no prisoners version of ultra-heavy technical hardcore in all its greatest and most extreme forms, backboned by the bond of three blood brothers just bringing it–because that's how they roll. Now, here they are, up in your face, ready to fight.
Street Eaglesis a dark, dangerous trip through Rip City: a labyrinth of blasted beats, chunked-up chug-a-lugs, and warrior cries—with nary a solo in sight, all meat and bone. The recording by Fester (Rabbits, Nux Vomica, Knelt Rote) at Haywire Studios in Portland captures the band clear, heavy, and sick like never before. Experience a brutal sonic bludgeoning in all its fine detail! Riff after riff of palm-muted madness and finger-clicking bass over an volatile bed of beats both lightning fast and super slow from three twisted technicians way down in the frontline trenches. Why not pile on back-and-forth shrieking screams and guttural growls to make sure you really understand just how far they are willing to go?
Street Eaglesopens with cyclic series of hardcore beatdowns and never let’s up, as each song strong-arms and shoves you further through the gauntlet. “Shitizen” is a tortuous gut-puncher meets pillow party. The “Burnt Vestry” and “Yawnmower” combo is a persistent but mutable pummeling followed by body blow after body blow peppered with rapid-fire face shots for a second-round TKO. The title track slaps you silly with a master class in the mathematics and mechanics of hardcore breakdowns, and “Stampeded by Fear” closes it all with a headfirst launch into the charging bulls blocking your way out. But when you finally emerge from your rites of initiation—battered, bruised, beaten down—you too will be a shitizen of HONDURAN.
The shit gets real on July 30th when the Eolian deviants drop that sonofabitch via 180-gram LP and digital.
