Seems like it's been a little while since I've posted last. I've been listening to Bomb the Music Industry, early 2000's ska, and late 90's skate punk pretty exclusively, so I kinda eased my way back into post-hardcore through means of Strung Out. I was also blown away by Bear vs Shark, so thanks Mondo.
The Element of Sonic Defiance (EP) by
Strung Out
Year: 2000
This release serves as the middle ground between Strung Out's early skate punk sound and their later progressive metal/hardcore output. That said, it shows the potential of the band, but doesn't quite reach the levels Twisted by Design did earlier and presumably how their later albums turn out (haven't heard enough yet to be sure, so hang in there).
8/10
