Wow! An unsigned band that sounds way better than a lot of bands on Drive-Thru Records. No Shit! I enjoyed this cd ep as much as they enjoyed recording it. Speaking of recording, I wished it sounded a little bit more polished, but I know unsigned bands really can’t afford those fancy studios. That makes them more punk anyways. I really could see this band going places, outside of their hometown. I think the singer has some great vocal chords that in the right environment could really do some damage. On the musical side, they got their shit together and it’s tight. I would slap the ‘East-Bay Punk’ sound to their forehead. As a reviewer, I like to let the band know what I think and what could help them. Also let the listener in on it if it’s good or not. So with that said. I think the band name is very generic and I would advise changing it to something unique because your sound is different. Also I would not try selling this CD, but use it in hopes to land a deal with a label. The computer printed inserts just don’t cut it. Take it to a local print shop and get it done professionally. It may cost a little bit more, but it will look a hell of lot better. Also I suggest get it remastered, because the songs are too low. The best way to know that your songs are at the same level with albums is to compare your favorite album with yours. Just get the levels up higher and it will sound a lot better. The printing on the actual CD is good, so don’t worry about that. One last thing… loose the last track, it’s just too damn silly and no one will take you serious after they listen to it. For real! Now as for the listener, wait. That’s right, wait. This CD is a good listen right now, but if I were you, I would wait to see this band move forward in the production of their next CD or the remastered version of this EP. Trust me it will be worth the wait. I hope this will give you a nice push onto better things for the band and the only reason why I give a shit is because everything is there… the talent, good songs, tight sound and great vocals. Now go out there and make me proud. Oh yea, don’t forget me when your big. jrsone@staff.truepunk.com
