A straightedge hardcore band with about as much lyrical aptitude and loathing of life as Slipknot, and about as much self-pity as Dashboard Confessional. The music is okay, I guess, but that’s just because they sound identical to Sick Of It All and American Nightmare. I don’t expect every new band I hear to reinvent the guitar, but Christ, there is nothing unique about this.
