Pick Your Side is a band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada featuring members of Haymaker, Left For Dead, and Fuck The Facts. Pick Your Side play a brutal, aggressive, and political style of music that incorporates elements of hardcore, crust, grindcore, and powerviolence. Pick Your Side is the band's debut LP and features 16 tracks of brutal, punishing, and menacing music. These sixteen tracks blaze by with a negative political outlook that's often missing in today's current hardcore scene. Overall, Let Me Show You How Democracy works makes for a powerful and compelling listen. Judging by the band's pedigree, you know you in for some extremely well played crust, grindcore, and powerviolence influenced hardcore and this album totally exceeded my initial expectations. Fans of The Swarm, Left For Dead, Cursed, and Ruination need to give Pick Your Side a listen. Great stuff. Enjoy! Also includes Pick Your Side's Survival Prayer 7" released in 2011 for you to check out as well + live video of a389rec anniversary show, CD comes as mini version of the LP.
