CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Acceptance emerges from the re-ignited Seattle scene where they have spent the last 3 years developing a passionate and loyal following throughout the North West. The Band has toured nationally and shared stages with the likes of Juliana Theory, Finch, Further Seems Forever as well as performing successfully on the Warped Tour and Cornerstone Festivals. When the bands debut record, Lost For Words came out on Seattle Indie, Rocketstar Records and quickly approached the 5000 sales mark, the industry at large began taking notice. When the band recorded a new 5 song demo with Aaron Sprinkle (MxPx, Poor Old Lu) this industry interest turned into serious courting by several major labels. After putting a professional management team in place to help determine the bands course of action, the band made the decision to release the Black Lines To Battlefields EP on The Militia Group who has been a long time friend and supporter of Acceptance. What the future holds for the band is made clear by simply listening to the CD or seeing the band live. Sincere, Sophisticated and lyrically driven modern rock that has an extraordinary ability to connect deep with fans of all types of rock, punk, and hardcore. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMore quality emo-rock from the Northwest Bando | 11/18/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I first heard about Acceptance after seeing them live with Finch. I though they were pretty good. Sort of Emo-ish and maybe too catchy for their own good. They had an odd presence on stage. The singer acted almost bipolar as he sang about loss and death, while all the time smiling and jumping around like he just won a million dollars. It was so simple yet very surreal. I thought: "I've got to check these guys out, they rock" At that time the critically aclaimed LP "Phantoms" hadn't even come out yet. These guys were really nothing more than a cult pop-rock-emo band with some mild attitude. Oh, and yes they are from Seattle. (I've been reviewing a lot of bands from that scene lately) They recorded a demo in 2000 which led to constant touring in the area. It took them 3 years to do it, but eventually they created a niche in the northwest emo-rock scene and put out this EP, which includes 5 new songs and 2 live tracks. A must for any fan. The song content is smooth and sincere, with occasional melody that loves to get you hooked. What really impresses me though, is the variation. Every song has a personality all it's own. Acceptance deserves much credit for being able to meld all their emotion and creativity to make every song a different experience. The lyrics are most definately emo, but not in a whiney way. The vocals are much more serious and calming than other similiar acts. The singer has a depth to his voice that really makes him a treat to listen to. His annunciation especially is astounding. All the songs here are very good, but the obvious standout track is "seeing is believing" It's about as good as a song can get. Extremely catchy, and masterful verse lyrics with a simple but sweet chorus. It's very hard not to fall in love with this song. That's all that needs to be said. The production's quite nice for the most part. It's sort of "wah-wah" sounding in the background for some of the songs. I guess it's supposed to make it sound live. I don't know what they were thinking when they did it, but it couldn't have been practical thinking. Still, it's an EP and I shouldn't be judging it off of sound quality. Acceptance are big friends with "the militia group", which I admire greatly. TMG has always showcased great bands and to know that Acceptance is involved with them really makes me happy. If you can, see this band live. I enjoyed my show a whole lot, and I didn't even know who they were. It's going to be great seeing them again knowing what to expect." Acceptance ownz Nemo Daison | Tupelo, MS | 09/10/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great cd. This isn't quite as loud/hard as what I normally listen to, but these guys have talent. I heard "Permanent" on mtv2 and really liked it so I picked the cd up. Short, but every track is good. Any fan of emo or alternative should love this." Excellent Band Nemo Daison | 11/06/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "It is very obvious a great deal of the people reviewing this CD have no musical background at all. Acceptance may not write the most difficult or technical music, but they are a good band who play a FLAWLESS live show. I have seen them twice, and both times I was very, very impressed. This CD is great, and I think the singer is very talented. He may not be the best, but he is MUCH better than almost every band coming out right now. If you don't know what I mean, do yourself a favor by buying the CD and then seeing them live."
