For the ones who didn’t get the point; With Pride plays straight forward hardcore. And this time the Jamey Jasta of the band is a female. A disadvantage? Hell no! Thumbs up for Alma, ‘cause she’s got a pretty convincing hardcore throat. As for the music, I think it’s pretty clear to everyone who reads this what I mean with straight forward hardcore. It’s not complex music, it’s not even to be called original. But if you like hardcore, most of the times it doesn’t really matter which band you listen to as long as it’s doing its job right.

 

Same story goes up here. Short and powerful songs make this album not last longer than 23 minutes. Personally, I think that’s a good thing, ‘cause listening to this music too long makes it a bit boring. The production of this album isn’t smooth at all. But again, that isn’t a bad thing in this kind of music. Add the knowledge that this band put the ‘raw’ sound on the album on purpose and you got yourself a pretty nice hardcore album that really reflects a live atmosphere.
