This stuff is great, high-energy, skillfully executed (and recorded) metal-influenced punk--or perhaps punk-influenced metal...or maybe it's hardcore-influenced metal...whatever--with fine lyrics & vocals. My questions are: 1. Do we all agree this is great stuff? 2. What similar metal-influenced bands do this well? Personally I couldn't care what the answer to #1 is, but if you can't answer #1 for yourself, best go listen to them so you can agree with the rest of us. As to #2, best answer it or forever acquiesce in the claim that Scratch Acid rules. --John
