    Here's an independent release with the look of a signed release. The package is carried out with some thinking first and the result is simply great with a nice layout, beautiful pictures and a good-looking cover. The disc itself is enhanced featuring videos of the band, photos and more. All very good looking. And the music? I hear punk rock in a couple of songs (like Hear and Run Away). But labeling them as punk rock would do them no justice. There is punk rock energy here and at the same time the vocals sometimes have something poppy in a way you won't hear on a punk release. So, let's call it power rock with a punk twist. The quality of the songs is good. I can only wish more independent bands presented themselves as professionally as this Canadian band. They did their best to give their best. Anybody, hear!
