The Longest Hall have a song called “Punch A Nazi In The Face”. That should be enough for you to give them a try, but I’ll expand. The song starts with a driving tom beat that’s more punk than you, references the intro to Fuck Tha Police, then drops a ‘BLEH’ over a riff that makes you want to start a NYHC style pit in your kitchen. All within the first 21 seconds.
Hailing from Florida, the band consists of 3 brothers who clearly grew up loving ALL the music. Genres bleed into one another and you can almost see an excitable trio of men going ‘oh wait, what if we did this next’ in each song. Usually ‘this’ is another breakdown to get you moshing.
Imagine drunkenly stumbling between the practice studios of A Day To Remember, Anti-Flag, All That Remains and Agnostic Front and you’re halfway to understanding the sound these guys have put together. Except sometimes they go full metal. There’s a lot going on!
