When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here.
AJJ has never let me down, this took a little longer to get into but after a few good listens i realized the beauty behind it, thanks for another killer album!
Naturally after extremely enjoying the first two albums I thought this would be no different. I was wrong, after 3 full listens i found myself extremely let down. No songs really stood out as catchy and most stood out half assed. Maybe stza should focuis and point more time into the next SFH or possibly LOC album instead of releasing one after another.
