Search - By the Grace of God :: Perspective

Great debut Full Length from these hardcore veterans

08/27/1998

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This hardcore band is made up of ex-members of bands like Guilt, Endpoint, Falling Forward, and Enkindel. The band's sound pretty much picks up where those bands left off. I think the vocals sound a bit like those of Cast Iron Hike, but if you aren't familiar with them, then you probably don't know what I am talking about. The band's message is geared towards self-improvement and educating their listeners to what goes on around them, mainly the corrupting, oppressive nature of big business. It features Rob from Endpoint on vocals, and Duncan from Guilt and Endpoint playing guitar and writing most of the music. The band began as a side project because of previous commitments (eg. other bands, jobs, etc.) but may now be more focused on devoting time to touring and writing music full time. If you like the emotional, melodic hardcore sound that Louisville has become famous for, then I definitely suggest you buy this record. If you like any of the aforementioned bands, then you will probably like By the Grace of God too. It is a great addition to anyone's collection."
