The sophomore full-length triple-guitar assault from this Austin, TX, quintet is a fitting follow-up to their spectacular If Arsenic Fails, Try Algebra disc of two years ago. Utilising the best elements of Foo Fighters-like rock energy, Jimmy Eat World-inspired epic emo song structures and swirling shoegazer guitar interaction, The August Division is an unpredictable and high-octane blast of post-punk bravado.
