Peer Review: From Below, Blood Money



From Below drives a hot poker straight through your expensive tie and into the black tar heart of capitalistic vice with Blood Money. It is quick, the work they make of their intended target. We don't see the long patient work of loading the cannon- only the fiery blast of thrashy rock and roll and the concussive force of Cartera's vocals, three howling chords in shrapnel guitars and explosive drumming.

This is not the music of the bourgeois.

This is the sound of four New Yorkers screaming 'WAKE UP' as hundreds of sweaty moshing bodies rise up from the night clubs and noisy dive bars to descend upon the reddened pavement of Wall Street, 'Wake up before they turn Shea Stadium into another fucking bank!'
