As the second release on DC Flag Records, the imprint headed up by Good Charlotte's Joel and Benji Madden, HAZEN STREET more than lives up to the hype, thanks to a lineup that draws its ranks from seminal hardcore groups Madball, H20, and the Cro-Mags. With an unusual setup that includes two vocalists, Toby Morse and Madball's Freddy Cricien, Hazen Street romps through its self-titled debut with an approach that's far more accessible than its hardcore roots would suggest. Cricien and Morse both sing rather than shout, and the grooves laid down by the rest of the New York City band serve as a clothesline for the hooks that come with the rumbling "Sorry" and sassy shuffle "Trouble." The subject matter is as gritty as Hazen Street's rough-and-tumble world. The songs here touch on doing time ("Fool the World"), getting away from destructive childhood roots ("Crossroads"), and lying on a potential deathbed ("Tomorrow"). HAZEN STREET ends up in the kind of musical neighborhood that fans of punk with a pop edge would be well advised to visit.
