Reviewed by James Stafford

A breath of fresh air in the hard music genre with its glut of hardcore and punk. Melodic hard rock/groove metal. Produced by Tim Bushong, there are some obvious influences from his music, (mainly The Bleed, which is unfortunate, because Lovewar was much better!) and there are hints of Atomic Opera, and some have said Kings X (but the harmonies are not Beatlesque). They show some of the low-end groove and heaviness of the above. They are not yet comparable with these mighty bands, but time will tell. The lead vocals seem average - there is no distinctness about the voice, which is a shame. But for a first album from these "three-piece" brothers, this is good and solid. Look out for them in the future.
