"this is kind of a refreshing turn that trever and scott (from face to face) took. along with scott's brother, chris schifflet (formally of no use for a name and me first and the gimmee gimmees and now of the foo fighters). songs are tight and who would've know that the pop/skate punk trio face to face could have spawned such an aggressive band. at first listen the cd reminds me of fugazi with it's noisey guitars and catchy choruses. maybe even a little stiff little fingers. very well played and written. sometimes the vocals are buried in the mix but, aside of some production shortcomings the band has thankfully steered clear of the mainstream and produced something credible to the punk rock community."
