Serenity 2004

When I give a punk rock album 4 stars its because I am aware that these bands have no money, which means they can afford at the most, one or two sessions in a recording studio, meanwhile some $hit band like Nickleback gets to spend weeks if not months in a recording studio.

When they recorded this album, they hadn't even played the songs together as a band until they got into the studio. The simple passing along of tapes that jives with their work schedule to learn to play the tunes.

Real punk bands don't make any money, and they never will, I find that most people in society can't relate to the music and would prefer to keep it swept under the rug. I would love to give this album 4 stars, as it features my two favorite Blood for Blood songs, but in reality its probably 3 stars, but I'll go with ***1/2 thumbs up.

One little release for the band to go and than onto something else.

Okay one last entry for one of the greatest bands to grace the stage of hardcore.

With the exception of all the dreary screamo ****, punk rock has always been pretty uplifting music. Hardcore in particular is fighting music, strap on your boots and give life the finger for trying to grind you down, never submit and never quit, no victims here.
