Awkward Thought

Mayday

BY Rob FerrazPublished Nov 1, 2000

Old style NY hardcore is what this band is all about. This debut features 17 songs worth of it and they keep the metal bits to a minimum with a sound akin to Cause For Alarm and Warzone. This isn't particularly outstanding, but has a certain catchiness and should appeal to those who have a soft spot for '80s hardcore. The lyrical content runs along the bleak personal line with a lot of "me against the world" kind of stuff, like the opening line from "Complete Control," "Passing time as life goes by. Now you fucked me I don't know why." That pretty much sums it up.
