"ok i don't post too many reviews but after reading the other reviews that said this band sounded like New Found Glory, i had to come and set it straight. these guys really do not sound like NFG at all. seriously, i just don't see it. Ok you know the starting line has those two songs with Nate from Finch on their "say it like you mean it" CD?...well, it's sorta like that, except the quality is not as rich cuz it has a nice raw sound to this disc and it sounds great...and at times you can see a Finch influence but it's never so bad as to call it a ripoff or anything cuz the whole screamo thing is some of the best music and is really enjoyable. i like how they keep the scream in the background and the clean, singing vocals mainly up front. it is only 15 minutes long though and the first song is only 1 minute long and that's the only bad thing, but i think i'll survive until a full length is released, this band has a great sound and i doubt i'll be let down by them in the future, so basically get this CD if you like screamo and The Starting Line and Senses Fail with a Finch type scream. defiantely worth it.

"umm. well i hated emo. because they all try so hard to be different that they ended up being the same. and even though that hasnt changed yet.... i picked up matchbook romance at target because the cd was NOT in a jewel case so i figured it had to be okay (woo noncomformers!) and it turned out to be really good. not the first time i listened to it, or the second. more like the eigth. but i really like the greatest fall song and the one that goes "Take my hand and never let me go." i used to be embarrased for screaming guys but this band made it okay. it actually made it really good.



quit trashing emo.



oh and pick up the used and something by pantera while you're at it!!!!

The first song rocks, dude.
