Zegota - Reclaim

It has been many moons since this blog has been updated. I figured I'd take charge in bringing it back, if only to unseat Ben's blogular dominance.
This is the first (of 2?) albums by the anarchist hardcore band Zegota. I got this at the CrimethInc. table at the Sick Fix/From the Depths/Ghost Mice show. It was a good show, except I got incredibly sick, had to leave the Positive Force table I was... tabling, missed Ghost Mice, and almost passed out on the Metro on the way home. Upon returning, I was then yelled at for not telling my parents when I'd get home, and then I basically stayed in bed for the next five days. Shit, that wasn't a good weekend at all.
Anyway, it's a pretty damn good album. I'd hesitantly classify it as emo, because it does have some screamed vocals, octave chords, and slow buildups. The guitar has this really interesting thin Fenderish tone - if it were a thicker or heavier sound, I'd be more likely to wholeheartedly describe it as emo. The third track, "Never Trust a Cop," is a great song, and reminds me of a mix between "Out of Step"-era Minor Threat and "13 Songs"-era Fugazi.
