P 062-2 CD $10.20
Made up of York, PA hardcore/punk veterans of the bands THE ARMED CITIZENS, GFNC, and TAP AND DIE, this converges those sounds. A frustrating CD to describe, as the music goes from 0 to 100 in a second, and the lyrics go from desperation to anger in a word. Harsh vocals deliver the angst, with a great, interwoven two-guitar sound, smatterings of effects, and powerful drumming combine to create a very interesting hardcore punk band which can dish out some "big rock" from time to time.
