Six Years in the DesertOriginally published in Verbicide issue #3

These guys are a hardcore band and they cover the Sesame Street theme song. Yes, that’s right, track seven: “Sunny Days.” It starts out with the familiar, happy bass line before suddenly breaking out into a fast-paced punk-rock-Big-Bird-in-the-mosh-pit romp. Some people might find this stupid, some might find it funny. I rather enjoy it. As for the rest of the album…well, they’re angry, but they don’t sound like Hatebreed! This is good! Think of Dennis Lyxzén before he left Refused with a little Bigwig thrown in. Oh yeah, this album has 17 tracks and is over an hour long, so you get your money’s worth.
