The Action Taken

Finally, everything is ready to go.

I (had) just got this record in the mail two days ago (when I wrote this post).
Before there was Have Heart and Wolf Whistle, there was The Action Taken, and here Patrick Flynn and Ryan Hudon actually share vocal responsibilities. I don't have much else to say really, it's younger and more youthful than HH and the lyrics are much less mature or developed... all being said it's a decent straightedge release and considering that the members were mostly only 16 when the band began it's a pretty decent album.

Right Away, Great Captain

My tattoo artist introduced me to this fine young gentleman's music.

Now, I have another hardcore post pending but since my roommate is on WoW and hates when I upload (because the lag kills him) I'm posting this as these albums are already on mediafire.

Anyway, the man has a nice voice and it's pretty relaxing acoustic stuff reminds me a little of Elliot Smith but with more structured guitar work. His albums are supposed to tell the story of a 17th century sailor who catches his wife cheating on him with his own brother. I can't comment on that though, as I actually haven't listened to a full album through yet. I always seem to get distracted...

*He has a new album coming out soon which will complete the story of the sailor so I'll likely append it to this post whenever that happens

Coke Bust

Straight out of Washington DC and fast as fuck.
With barely a song over one minute this is some of the best, fast, and pissed off straight edge hardcore today.

Definitely will appeal to fans of Ceremony, Bones Brigade, Bracewar, Scholastic Deth...

Keep it fucking break-neck positive.

The Tallest Man On Earth

One man, one guitar.
This Swede has a magical stolen voice and I am glad I found this as it has been brightening the last few cloudy days.
Somewhere on the barren plain between Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot this man has pitched his tent.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
