“On the more frenetic side of the spectrum, Pittsburgh’s 156/Silence are an unhinged force to be reckoned with. The band’s latest, Undercover Scumbag , is gauntlet of swinging riffs, primal drums, and howled lyrics about the dark side of everyday existence. Above all, vocalist Jack Murray’s reckless and pained shrieks add an air of believable angst to their sound, and will remind listeners of artsy hardcore bands like Scarlet and Zao. Though one hears more hardcore than any other genre in the band’s smear of influences, it’s 156/Silence’s ability to experiment with and draw inspiration from genres like noise and thrash that sets them apart from the crowd-killing pack.”
