For those of you unaware of Down The Hatch, a lot has happened to them in their short time span. Starting out as a four piece, and releasing a short EP before their lead singer left for another project. New front man Joey Woods dusted off a fresh set of tunes and lead the charge for the full length debut 2010's Fiasco! Things looked on the up & up. Then just as they started to rebuild their name and fan base, their bass player headed across the pond to start a new life. For a lesser band, this would be it. Instead it just furthered their resolve. They took a bit of a break, found a new man to rock the thud stick, and came out swinging with Space Goat Coast to Coast.
This four song EP (available for whatever funds you can scrape together on their Bandcamp page) shows the pure heart and determination of D.I.Y. Edmonton punk, breading sound somewhere between thrash/skate/pop punk and doom/skate/metal. It was the must have soundtrack to anything gnarly that we did over the summer of 2012. From the opening riff of The Fuck? one immediately knows they are in for a ride. Guitar riffs so reminiscent of early Lagwagon & How To Clean Everything era Propagandhi, Joey just gets your head bobbing along, and before you know it Kellan is hitting the four count and Boobgasm begins.
I'll leave the last two tracks for your own interpretation, but I'll leave with this.
Down The Hatch, Purveyors of Fine Punk Rock, deliver the goods with Space Goat.
