Soul Search - Intolerable Weight

Soul Search have quickly become one of my favorite current hardcore bands.  I've only been able to see them play once, but it was a freakin treat man.  And it was outta control. 

This record is Soul Searches debute, released on Thick Skin Records last year, but was originally released as a tape in 2010.  I'm not sure if Think Skin put out the tape (by the looks of their website they do a lot of tape releases) or if it was released by the band.  Either way it would be nice to have a copy of that as well. 


If you aren't familiar with Soul Search (you need to be!) they play hardcore in the style of such NYHC bands as Breakdown, Madball, Dmize, etc..  There are tons of bands that have played this style before, but there is something about Soul Search that is completely refreshing.  And honestly I couldn't tell you what it is. Maybe it has to do with them being young?  I feel its similar to when No Warning came about.  A new young hardcore band playing in the vein of NYHC, but making it feel fresh. 
I can't wait for them to do a full length, cause it's gonna be a banger. 

Fun Fact:  Hoodrack of Stick Together drew the "Soul Search" logo for the labels
