This has that live in your garage feel to it… kind of a ghoulish punk presence when the chorus kicks in-that's the title track by the way, and I like that guitar lick-very highway 65 veering off into the dark under a pale moonlight!

I don't like the chorus that much so let's see what's next…

"Moth to a Flame," okay cool, I like the way it starts off. Seems like they cop a lot of yesterday's traditional metal riffs to open with-no complaints, in fact kind of refreshing, but very underground when the time comes to lash out after the verses!

So who exactly are these guys…

an offshoot of Vitamin F?

I remember 'em from a few years ago but we're not nearly as hard-core here, and so much for meaningless comparisons!

The Orange County outcasts have really forged quite the interesting medley of styles here-and take note, not yet a trace of gangsta violence or incessant whining!

Not that there's anything wrong with that you understand but I ain't ready to be institutionalized yet from those dangerously overexposed toxins!

"Youth Anthem" reminds me of a new song I just heard from fucking Holocaust… not quite the epic variety as the former but this one's got a real cool vibe going for it, with an acoustic structure and sing along quality that you just don't expect to hear when you're ready to pledge your allegiance…

unless maybe we're dealing with a Flogging Molly or something and then the whole rewritten book can be scrapped anyway cause its nothing like anything!

Unit F, to my sudden knowledge, has to do with a governmental division that investigates unexplained phenomena… and how right they are because most of what I'm hearing has no explanation-it's pretty out there!

They've played with a number of known and not so known groups in their relatively youthful existence and there explains much of the variance between yesterday's spit and today's polish… or something like that!

"Daddy Don't" is the biggest punk tune I've heard here so far and it's a quick one-got the Suicidal flare going for it-aces!

These guys got their shit together-I like it… It's got rage, it's got fury, it's unusual and creepy and funny… it's delightfully disgraceful, this "Hollow City" where the inhabitants are apparently a shell of their former selves-and an unmistakable intrusion into what you thought you already knew about rock and roll…
