Lewd Acts


Lewd Acts were a four-piece hardcore band from San Diego, California that formed in 2004 and broke up in 2010, before briefly reuniting in 2012. They played a dark, aggressive form of hardcore that blended the sludgy, down-tuned sound of Cursed with the technical riffs of Converge, and the energy of a band like Blacklisted. This makes sense, since like all the aforementioned, Lewd Acts were also a Deathwish band. They only released one album, 2009's incredible Black Eye Blues, which is easily one of that decade's best hardcore releases. In addition, the compilation Dark Days includes all of the band's early (and fantastic) material. The cassette put out in 2012 contains demos recorded and distributed after they reunited. Not much else to say, except this is (relatively) "modern" hardcore at its finest. Enjoy.
