I like these guys quite a bit. The Violent Years had about 4 awesome songs (No Tommorrow Girls, Somethings Never Fall, Last of the 1%'ers, Lost in the 90's) and a bunch of filler that just didn't make an impression on me either way. Alive without Control had no stand-out songs for me but just a bunch of solid/good songs for the most part. 1+ Reply

These guys sure do dress the part. Also, they sort of sound like Hi-Standard. haha

I didn't know that Jahmeel had been in Mico or Malefaction... This one time, I saw Fifth Hour Hero play with Malefaction. Worse mismatch line up ever, well there was the Darkest Hour, Discount and Braid show too. I enjoyed FHH and Malefaction, but still kind of strange.
