    These guys are a pretty cool punk rock band, with a beefy low end and easily discernable lyrics, but the drums seem to ring a little long in my ears. This CD is called Live With No Audience, and I can tell you firsthand, the live sound is pretty decent, in fact, even better than represented here, but the disc helps in predicting the sounds you'll hear at one of the band's energetic shows. These boys aren't afraid to show a little diversity ("Turkish March"). "God is Good" is a very cool hard punk tune, and "My Blood" is sort of a 50's ballad, but turns into a love song from Christ to us. This one's probably my favorite, with its punchy guitar tone and catchy chorus.
