After six years of silence, American Steel are back with their debut LP on Fat Wreck Chords. “Destroy Their Future” is a little bit different from the previous full lengths the band released on Lookout! Records.

The new songs are slower and more focused on social life and politics, a little bit as older Against Me!, with a lot of guitar riffs that sound like marching rhythms. The opening track “Sons Of Avarice” is a good example of punk rock fused with a more pop edge in the chorus. “Love And Logic” is a classic punk rock anthem, with the band singing along on the chorus, while “Smile On Me” is a soft, almost acoustic tune in the beginning, where American Steel shows how they can become serious on feelings.

“Destroy The Future” is a soon to be classic record in the Fat Wreck Chords catalog, and even tough I admit that on the first listen it might sound odd if you already knew American Steel, it keeps growing on me with each listen.
