look my way is a
hardcore band from the west of germany. they are relatively new to me. ‘relatively’
because i saw their 520 7” quite often when i searched for madball vinyl on
ebay. but the cover never made me want to check them out more closely. so when beatdown hardwear announced their full length record ‘mentality’ last year, i wasn’t too
enthusiastic about it. and when i saw that bdhw only released it on cd my
interest was gone. as time moved on i read a review about ‘mentality’ in a
fanzine called ‘between the lines’ (check them out!).
some references to other bands i like had been made there and it said that save my soul records released a vinyl version. so i moved to their webshop and found next to
the full length record, their first 7” ‘520’. i bought them both on coloured
vinyl. admittedly ‘520’ is just pretty much alright. nothing real special here.
being named after a madball album, they play metallic hardcore with a heavy
nyhc edge. they tried to include some own flavour (check ‘black soul’ and
listen to the vocals at the end) but it didn’t really work out for me. like i said
the songs are alright and that’s it. the ‘mentality’ record is way better.
