Breath of fresh air in an overcrowded genre

"1-2-3-4 The first seconds of the debut release from Grey Area gets the adrenaline pumping. Beautifully crafted fast punk rock music set to positive emotional lyrics with great vocals. Where countless other punk rock bands fall short with goofy lyrics about girls or being a geek, Grey Area seemlessly treads the line with topics such as friends who have passed away on "For Real" (Raybeez R.I.P.) and going after what you believe in ("Take My Chances"). This is an all around masterpiece of a record by an underground supergroup (Grey Area features former members of Warzone, Black Train Jack & Token Entry). You can't really compare this band to anyone else. But if you really need comparisons think Lagwagon, Bouncing Souls and Face To Face. Highly reccomended for anyone who really wants some new, inspirational rock music. By the third listen you'll be screaming right along in your car and loving every minute of it as chills run down your spine. I promise."
