In Due Time
Back To Basics
Maybe I am just too out of touch with the hardcore scene, but it seems like this label pulls bands out of its hat (or from up its sleeve). One minute they don’t exist and the next minute they’ve got a slick-looking, slick-sounding, shrink-wrapped CD on the shelves at Hot Topic – not that I’ve ever been to one of those stores (I’m serious, I haven’t). This band hails from Florida and the title of their record reflects their approach to making hardcore – and I like it. I like it a lot. They keep it simple, they keep it real, put the CD in and you feel as if you are at their show. No studio trickery here, just real-sounding guitars with a little flange on them, gang vox, simple chanted vocals (you can understand most of the words) and a positive message. This is what hardcore is supposed to sound like. [Strikefirst] Chris Francz

Saw these guys last year at cornerstone...simply amazing. I don't have the disc yet (I AM BROKE), but if they are anything like they are live it'll be sick!

Yea I saw them at Facedown Fest 2004 and let me just say I walked out in shock. they put on one of the sickist shows I have ever seen.

i left cornerstone realizing HC will soon die because of the complete lack of substance and creativity that is "slickly packaged" and "coming out of nowhere". I seriously heard the same band at least 50 times. At least NIV had something to scream about.

I saw them June 25 and the next day the 26 and I haven't been able to get enough of them since.
