“Control, the EP follow up to EXTORTION’s critically acclaimed 2006 album Degenerate, markets itself as a released suited to fans of hardcore legends Infest and Black Flag. Pioneers of the power violence and hardcore punk genres respectively, both bands were able to create records whose sheer hatred, frustration, and anger remain potent archetypes overshadowing most young hardcore bands to this day. Extortion undoubtedly sets up a high standard to meet, but fortunately it serves as a testament to their relentless conviction and force that they not only wear their influences proudly on their sleeve, but have the musical chops to back it up, producing a unique sound of such high caliber that Control takes only 8 minutes to demolish any notion that hardcore punk is a dead art.”—Sputnik Music
