EXUL - Self Titled (2017)
Hello all, apologies for the extreme lack of posts on my part lately. But I ran across this band and I had to mention them. Exul is a 3-piece from Albany, New York and unfortunately that's about all I know about them. But my God, I'm in love with this release. If you know anything about me, that means that this band reminds me of Cursed and Burning Love. It's got really catchy mid-tempo beats without sounding like cliche D-Beat, some epic intros, interesting instrumentals, and overall it's just great catchy crust/hardcore punk. I hope you guys agree and enjoy!
