Born Bad was a band that I never really payed too much attention to. I don't know what it was but i remember hearing them and just never felt the need to pick up their records right away. I saw them play twice(they were better the second time) and thought that i should probably pick up an e.p. but just never got around to it. It was nothing personal i wasn't violently against listening to them, they seemed like alright guys too. A couple of weeks ago my buddy got some records he bought wholesale and this was one of them, so I finally decided to get a Born Bad record, it was worth it.
"In The Dark" is the perfect record for this band Its got everything they have done in the past but this time around they throw in some extra feedback and instead of blazing through every song they slow things down even drag at times. The songs do not rely on atmosphere though the band plays them well and you can tell that they wanted you to feel the hate through the riffs as well as the lyrics.
Born Bad hasn't changed who they are or what they do though, thats the thing this is still a Born Bad record. Here is a band who has managed to find a sound that works for them and at the same time craft their best songs to date. What more could you ask for?
These Canadian homeboys are busy running their label HOME INVASION and have already released some of the better 7"s this year. Despite some rumors of Born Bad calling it quits i have reason to believe we may see at least one more release from them. "In The Dark" was released on Home Invasion records. 500 were pressed.
