CoC : One Life Crew - Crime Ridden Society : Review

One Life Crew - _Crime Ridden Society_
(Victory/Cargo, 1996)
by: Adrian Bromley (4 out of 10)

If you listened to one hardcore record as of late, you've heard them all. Listening to One Life Crew, it all seems to be just rehashed hardcore shit from other bands' releases from the last few years. This band is following in the footsteps of bands like Sick Of It All and Snapcase, maybe a bit more metallic (Pantera-ish) at times but still delivering hard messages and riffs. With eight songs and a cover song (Confront's "Our Fight") just coming in at 15-minutes, One Life Crew hit hard, fast and with multiple messages about our "crime ridden society." But haven't we heard this all before?
