Rucktion Records is proud to present 'Life Slap', the second MCD by West London's Tempers Fray, 7 brand new songs of crushingly heavy and groovy metallic Hardcore. Fans that the band have made through their live appearances around the UK and mainland Europe, or through their debut release '7:15' will in no way be disappointed, as Tempers Fray have not strayed from their formula, and have delivered a relentlessly energetic, explosive and well-written follow-up. What makes Tempers Fray stand out is just how busy and fluid their songwriting is. The band squeeze a lot into songs that rarely exceed 3 minutes, and the 7 tunes on 'Life Slap' lurch from riff to chunky riff, barely giving the listener time to pause for breath and leading to a rich experience sure to invite repeated listens. While clearly wearing their influences on their sleeves, the band deliver plenty of personality and conviction in their songwriting and delivery, to carve out their own space and identity in an oversubscribed genre. Groovy and metallic heavy Hardcore from London, for fans of Lifeless, Providence, True Valiance etc.
