Tom Breihan from Status Aint Hood has interesting take on Cage’s new album and his recent performance at the Bowery. Link
…it was almost entirely scary tatted-up Brooklyn hard-rock white kids with neckbeards and thin gold chains and maybe two gold teeth. I used to see pictures of guys just like this in the liner notes of New York hardcore compilations when I was in high school; I like these guys. These might’ve been the thugged-out white kids whose love affair with punk rock ended when everything got all emo a few years ago, who needed to turn somewhere else to find jagged knucklehead thrills. And if Cage’s Dead Kennedys shirt didn’t drive the point home, the brief but hectic circle pit that erupted during the show-closing Weathermen posse cut “Left It to Us†sure did.
Cage has always been a good match for these guys, a demented shock-rap cherub with strong rap credentials…
