Hardcore band Clear Convictions originally formed in their home territory of Puerto Rico, but have since settled in Florida. I got to see the band live (for the first time) at Audiofeed last weekend and they absolutely killed it! In fact, they rocked hard enough to get this 51-year-old gray-haired guy out of mosh retirement. In fact, I surprised myself at how hard I went. But when the grooves are this deep and the riffs this thick, it’s hard to resist.
The band formed sometime in the 2000s, but I couldn’t find a specific year. By 2006 they released their debut full-length via Strike First Records (the smaller sublabel of Facedown). A few years later they released another album, this time for New York’s On the Attack Records, and then two self-released EPs in the 2010s.
However, for our Song of the Day, we’re digging deep. “Arrepientete” (Spanish for “repent”) is taken from the band’s four-song demo. While I can’t confirm the specific year of release, presumably it was before the band’s Strike First debut, and it was also picked up for distribution by Facedown. Enjoy!
