Legit — Get Used To It

Melodic Hardcore is my bread and butter. If there's any genre I can talk about for hours, this is probably it. Just the good stuff though; melodic hardcore isn't pop-punk, or metalcore that happens to feature melodies. It's hardcore that has more emphasis on songwriting and tone than on pure intensity or urgency. But enough pontificating.

This demo rips. It's another Legitimate Bros. production, from Seattle. It's pure melodic hardcore in the best sense, and has a really high degree of variability of style, along with the gratuitous tempo and key changes. Seriously, synchronized solos ala hair metal aren't too common on here, but these dudes pull it off. This is a 2004 demo that never saw much action, but it still sounds great and is really inventive. Kind of like early Go It Alone or something, but a lot more upbeat and snappy. I can't get these songs out of my head. See what you think.

Legit were a melodic hardcore band from Seattle, Washington a couple years back. It doesn't seem like they ever did much, but they did put out two most excellent demos. Backed extra hard.
