What’s everybody saying?
ENDLESS ROADS – 2008 7”/MCD
… Their new EP, “Endless Roads” (Shield Recordings), is the proof that Euro HC is definitely in full effect right now… This is the kind of song that some bigger bands right now wish they could write. Some next-level HC for sure… This band honestly has everything in their possession to become one of the greater bands of the current era. – Hugo (Lifersmontreal.com (CA) – May 2008)
… All of the songs on this release are good. I don’t know if they selected only the best ones to be released or if this was simply all the material they had before they recorded, but it surely raises the bar for their next release… All in all, this is a very cool release. So check Said And Done out on their MySpace and pick up this 7″/MCD. You won’t regret it… – David (Asice.net (NL) – May 2008)
…Seriously, Endless Roads is an amazing piece of hardcore music and S&D could easily be your new favourite band… – Marnix (Europunk.net (NL) – June 2008)
…Endless Roads sounds like Lemmy from Motorhead decided to record 6 New York Hardcore tracks. This record rocks from front to back and the artwork looks great too. It would suprise me if not more people are going to be down with this band… – Arold Roestenburg (Up Magazine (NL) – June 2008)
…”Endless Roads” is the latest EP from unique Dutch hardcore act Said and Done… focus on pounding basslines, tactful grooves, and little smatterings of melody or rocked out influences creeping in on occasion. And the vocals are definitely continuing to progress quite nicely, with more hints at a subtle form of gruff singing that really sets Said and Done’s overall sound apart from many of their contemporaries… The layout’s really cool this time out as well… brief song descriptions and other such explanatory text that comes across as truly genuine and inspiring with zero pretension, which seems to be getting rarer and rarer these days, so I really have a lot of respect for what they have to say here. I’m already looking forward to hearing some more new material, too!… – Andrew (Aversionline.com (USA) – August 2008)
The sky’s the limit for this young Dutch band. They already showed their true colours with their debut full length ‘Everyday’ in 2007. The intensity and especially maturity was just amazing. A couple of guys in their early 20s creating the best possible mix of Cro Mags and Leeway. – Martijn Welzen (Mass Movement Magazine (UK) – August 2008)
EVERYDAY – 2007 CD/LP
…Everyday reminds you of the glory days of hardcore… Said And Done have the quality and balls to strike hard in a scene that seems to be asleep… – Onno Cro Mag (Aardschok (NL) – April 2007)
Here’s a good example how modern hardcore with “sung” vocals should sound…Overall, one of the better Current European hardcore bands… – Dave K. (QuickFix Fanzine (USA) – April 2007)
…Everyday delivers in full…I’m way into it…this is definitely one of the best European hardcore records I’ve encountered as of late. Great work. – Andrew (Aversionline.com (USA) – April 2007)
A couple of young Dutch kids are single-handedly turing back the clock on hardcore…Despite their age they know how it all sounded in the 80s, and are giving it the right dose of groove and aggression. Personally I’m blown away… Don’t miss out on this one. – Martijn Welzen (Mass Movement Magazine (UK))
SAID AND DONE’s stand-out characteristic is borne from the shouted lead vocals which manage to be surprisingly melodic and flexible, not unlike MAXIMUM PENALTY, minus the awkward “grooving.”…their songwriting is exceptionally strong and Everyday never misses a beat. Solidly recommended. – Jordan A. Baker (Pastepunk.com (USA) – May 2007)
This bunch of Dutchies are a motherfucking promising heap of youngsters. The five-piece filled their first album with 12 songs, and each and every one of them is a wonderful homage to the glory days of Cro-Mags and Leeway, when grooving hardcore was still a novelty. – Christophe (PunkRockTheory.com (BE) – July 2007)
