I don’t now how many times I can say this, but UK crossover keeps getting better and better and this two track teaser courtesy of Pest Control from Leeds doesn’t contradict that in the slightest
Imagine a hardcore crossover band that truly understands what makes Slayer great fronted by Dawn Crosby of Detente. Then add some special sauce courtesy of the never ending talent that is the UKHC community and you are probably imagining something close. However, hearing is believing so get your ears wrapped round these two belters NOW.
Quality Control HQ
The Two tracks – Masquerade Party and The Great Deceiver are a step up from their killer 2020 Demo, and thats saying something, the first track leans more towards the bands hardcore influences, whilst Great Deceiver will get the the thrashers hair tingling as those riffs cut through your cerebral cortex!
The tracks are short but sweet, and get the juices flowing and the anticipation rising for the full length LP ‘Don’t Test The Pest’ out on the 10th February 2023 and we can’t wait to get the whole album in our ears!!

It’s pointless doing a full review as it’s released via Quality Control HQ today, so get on Bandcamp NOW!!! or regular streaming services!! and don’t miss out on the LP launch show at BOOM Leeds on the 18th Feb – TICKETS
