    this skaterock influenced trio out of salem oregon, kicks out 5 new school punk anthems with a lot of aggression. singer and gtr player andy wiseman is a former bass player for crux, he gets help on vocals by bass player jason zeh and drummer chad davies some great fast paced percussion from start to finish. this is one of the better records i've heard coming out the new scool genre. the background vocals on "not a flinch" are some the finest i have ever heard; triumphant, high pitched and right on tune. the only qualm i have is lyrical content, mostly singing 'bout girl troubles and unless you're the decendants it's a hard thing to pull off. this is some good stop and go punk.
