Review by Lynn Rossing

Hoods, the American hardcore punk band, has released their latest album, Calls From The Hood. The album features 12 tracks, with a total runtime of 32 minutes. The album is a perfect blend of hardcore punk and metal, with lyrics that reflect the struggles of life in the inner city.

The album starts with the track "The Greater Good," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track is an aggressive assault on the senses, with heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums. The lyrics talk about the harsh realities of life in the hood, and the struggle to survive.

The album then moves on to tracks like "Life's Ill," "P.S.A.," and "The King Is Dead," which continue the theme of life in the inner city. The tracks are full of anger and frustration, with lyrics that are raw and honest.

The album also features some slower tracks like "Black Out" and "Lose Control," which showcase the band's versatility. These tracks have a more melodic feel to them, with clean guitar tones and emotional vocals.
