Before Dishonor
Cleveland punk played with tons of heart and plenty of true grit. Brings to mind the punk raunch and roll of Sixer, the boot stomping punk of The Bruisers and wit and wisdom of The Working Stiffs. Six songs spinning elaborate tales of government wrong doings (Dark Suits of '64), corrupt commercial radio (Rock Radio) and good time punk rock debauchery (Church Key). I liked this disc because the songs were familiar enough and true to Streetpunk style and had hooky chorus' that made you sing along. Vocalist Dan Grey has that Tom Waits rasp down to a tee and actually keeps your interest peaked without going the predictable route. A very strong debut from a talented band. Keep up the great work kids!
