Kissing ChaosEnter With A Bullet (2003)Fueled By Ramen Records Reviewer Rating: Contributed by: Adam (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on February 18th 2003
I'm a bastard when it comes to writing off new bands. I almost did that with Kissing Chaos. The lead track on their five song EP starts out with a dark and respectable new-school punk sound quite akin to The Alkaline Trio but is soon interrupted with screams that immediately soured my expectations that the group would be anything more than bandwagon-hopping nu-emo. I mentally began a negative review where I was going to rant about the "state of the scene" and the "trendy kids following Thursday" and how most "screams in non-hardcore songs are going to look as dated in four years as skittering upstroke guitar does now in bands who jumped on the ska bandwagon in `97." That was the ill-conceived review I was writing. Yet upon a revealing second spin Kissing Chaos' "Enter With A Bullet" deserves none of that criticism. This is a good review... really.

I have this EP and it is amazing, even though they should have put out a full-length. caustic soda was the fuckin shit "Blueline Medic "Text Bomb" out 4/22" Kissing Chaos is quite tight.....quite tight indeed....I can't wait for the fucking Blueline Medic cd either... good band, i like pop unknown too... more actually, they share half the same members but they are quite different sounds... Awesome band...I've heard a few of their songs on mp3.com and I was hooked. I just ordered the EP - hopefully it will be here soon. Its an ok band and it helps me wait until the next bext FBR release: Blueline Medic "Text Bomb" out 4/22. Can't wait. 'nu-emo'. I like that. Describes it all perfectly. Not that bad, they do use generic "nu-emo" guitar riffs sometimes, but better than the used and shit like that. is that arron from the the aeffect!?!?!?!!?
