Desperado har før splittet 1000Fryd ad, og det virker som om det bliver mere om mere intenst, hver gang de spiller her. På eres seneste fuldlængde "Evacuation" har de videreudviklet deres stil, så blandingen af rock'n'roll, hardcore og (scr)emo på fornem vis balancerer på grænsen mellem Kaos og kontrol.
Desperado er et at de mest intense hardcorebands netop nu, og live er der maget få bands der når dem til knæhaserne! Nogen har sagt at Desperado er et miks af Blood Brothers og JR Ewing, og det har nogen sådan set ret i.
Svenske Sound OE har tre guitarister og to vokalister, hvilket er med til at gøre deres blanding af hardcore, indie og punk yderst varieret.
Og så gælder det om at passe på, for når man bliver ramt at en traktor, så gør det nas! Traktor spiller ny-skole hardcore uden så meget pis, og det er faktisk svært at forestille sig en bedre match til Desperado.
Og pressen siger:
How can a band manage to play rather noisy hardcore (Abhinanda meets JR Ewing), and behind that façade of chaos still have a melancholy current? That’s really well done. It’s not just that Refused like anger they need to get out, but they seem to be much more about personal issues and incorporate that in their lyrics. Their words are just like their music not easy to understand, only now printed in ink for all to read. That same feeling of sadness, chaos and anger shines through. You’re riding a wave that can carry a really fragile load to a massive orgy of noise. It’s just like I have written for a few other records, even if they might sound totally different to this band. This is hardcore you can almost touch; maybe the fact they have recorded the whole thing on analogue equipment has helped them. Never thought about that aspect of our beloved scene. You need to get close to a band, slick production is cold and distant and there’s hardly a heartbeat. This band stands for the important, smaller things in live. Cherish them. Martijn Welzen lade
