I Object – “Teaching Revenge”

Released in 2006 as a joint effort via Alternative Tentacles and Blacknoise Recordings, Teaching Revenge stands as a fiercely political, hyper-kinetic statement from Buffalo, New York’s thrashcore stalwarts I Object. The album is an explosive showcase of fast, unrelenting punk rock that channels the blazing speed and social consciousness of early 1980s hardcore pioneers like Minor Threat and Bad Brains, while infusing a modern thrash edge reminiscent of Spitboy and Tear It Up. Frontwoman Cynthia’s urgent, throat-shredding vocal delivery punches through the mix, driving home blistering anthems that tackle sexism, complacency, and systemic oppression without hitting single-tempo monotony. Sharp, jagged guitar lines and frantic rhythm shifts elevate tracks like Intro / Like A Billboard and the title cut Teaching Revenge, turning the brief, volatile runtime into a masterclass in focused, DIY-centric fury.
