On Hit for Six, Brit punks Consumed deliver a searing swarm of hardcore guitars and drums. A few of the songs have tender, lovey-dovey vocals, but it is hard to tell because you are being jack-hammered into the ground by the quartet’s sonic attack. All is not peace and love, though. For every “Sunnyside Up” — a song that expresses the best in punk love — there is the biting violence of “Black and Blue,” which is about a guy getting his face flattened with a shovel. Consumed keep the variety coming throughout the album, with the one consistent element being the explosive metal-tinged punk that never stops. – Stacia Proefrock
