Creative Hardcore. This band is doing a pretty good job at being a hardcore band. They try to be creative with their beats, rhythms and guitar parts. They throw in a couple metal guitars here and there, along with some emo chords once and a while too. The vocals are nice and strong. As far as the songs go - they're decent. While I'm too big on hardcore I do appreciate creativity and song arrangement. This album has a little of both. As far as production - it's pretty good. The vocals are a little upfront, but that's about it. The musicians all are very good. Technically speaking they all have something to be proud of. Not a bad EP.

Other coverage for this album
Decapolis 2000Reviewed by Tom BastianThis would probably considered melodic hardcore. It's not really the scream in your face hardcore, but then it's not really the, "we're really a pop punk band, but it's cool to be melodic hardcore" hardcore either. Some of the guitar work would be considered hardcore, especially with the breakdowns they do. Yet this doesn't really seem to be a band that you can just classify and put in a box.…Similar sounding releases
