Jakuzi’s Attempt have a lot going for them. Hailing from Wolfsburg in Austria, this three piece have a huge sound and are incredibly dynamic reminding me at times of a modern day REFUSED, high praise indeed. Erratic Kids is adventurous as it is full of hooks. “I know you know” sings Markus Steinkellner over the mathy guitars second before exploding with a hardcore scream worthy of any current big wig in the screamo/hardcore set. Whisper follows the same path, intricate guitars and drums layered over a thumping bass and brutal vocal track. But the crème de le crème here is Freedom which employs some Nu Metal tricks without sounding dated in any way. The vocal hook of “I built myself a flying machine” is plain weird but the RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE-esque screams of Freedom are never sounding false or forced. There is so much passion on this EP you cant help but be moved. Thiscomes highly recommended.
