CHRIS STAMM FROM THE WILLAMETTE WEEKS GIVES US SOME MORE LOVE

thanks chris.  check out the other songs he lists too.  there's some good shit in there.

Honduran, “Live Fast, Die You”
Honduran’s self-titled 7-inch got a ridiculously mean review in a recent issue of Maximumrocknroll. Let’s just say the words “shitty” and “bullshit” were used twice in a single sentence. These local grinders didn’t seem too phased--a pic of said spilled ink was proudly posted to Honduran’s Facebook wall--which is good, because the record in question is a raw and brutal wonder. Standout track “Live Fast, Die You” (that’s the way Honduran’s Bandcamp page spells it) is a beast: as fairly straightforward powerviolence gives way to spazzy grind, drummer Kevin miraculously grows four bonus limbs and goes to town on his kit. It’s an unrelenting display of punk extremity, a two-minute fireworks display that I can’t get enough of. Hey, even MRR whiffs once in a while.

REVIEWS FROM CVLT NATION & HAMMER SMASHED SOUND!

here's a link to the CVLT NATION page - http://www.cvltnation.com/untitled-honduranreview/ 

"Do you want a piece of this? I don’t think so, because I will get Portland’s HONDURAN to open up a can of grindcore & your ass will be grass. This band’s new 7 inch is four songs & eight minutes of demented powerviolence that will wreck havoc on all of your senses. HONDURAN’s duel vocal onslaught will slap you upside the head with every listen, but these dudes know what the fuck they are doing, so you dig the violence they unleash on your brain! Let me tell you what this band really has going for them: the sick ass wall of nuclear bass that rampages through every tune. HONDURAN have a sinister fun groove thing happening, which I dig a lot because it keeps you banging! Yeah alright they are grindcore/powerviolence, but on the real, HONDURAN has this real epic punk energy that they bring to their songs! There is no way when you hear this band that you can deny that these humans have a blast playing together, and this fact makes what they create infectious. All of HONDURAN’s songs are short bursts of sonic radness & if you know what time it is, you will get with the HONDURAN program. Download the 7 inch HERE!"

"Never been a big fan of grindcore/powerviolence, but I got a 7" in the mail from a band out of Portland, Oregon called Honduran, and while I still am not a huge fan of the genre as a whole, I am finding that I like Honduran quite a bit. They play fast and furious, sometimes slowing down ever-so-temporarily, with guttural, harsh vocals at times accented with higher-pitched shrieks and yells. It's nothing groundbreaking, but the songs are well-crafted and performed well, making this 7" an overall solid release. 4 songs, totaling just over 7 minutes. See the link to their website above to get it thru mailorder, or contact them here to see what else they've got. If all else fails, head to their Bandcamp page to download their entire catalog free of charge."
