    Now, this is some intense hardcore! The band simply shreds! Besides the building grooves and beautifully over-the-top hardcore screaming, the band shows some real originality and flies in and out of emo musings like a pendulum. The dynamics of swirling along and then being slammed up against a wall are gigantic. These guys are certainly one of today's hardcore bands to see and hear. Available on DTS Records.
