REVIEW: Hate At First Sight – Baseline
At its core, “Baseline” presents Hate At First Sight as a project interested in collision rather than musical neatness. The track draws from post punk, alternative rock, and hardcore, with the project’s stated influences from Faith No More, Drug Church, and Public Image Ltd providing useful context for its direction.
