Despite the surprise excitement of live Minor Threat covers, Down to Nothing had never particularly impressed me, the barrage of pointless mosh/two-step parts likely being the main culprit. With their proper Revelation debut, The Most, there's a good chance there'll be more than one person claiming fan conversion, as the band outfit their modern hardcore stylings with a more melodic, slightly less burly setup with the occasional nod to late `80s hardcore touchstones. Despite DTN managing to overall retain their identity, it's still an alternate approach for the band that better calls to mind Bane channeling Turning Point, not unlike the band's newer, more heartfelt peers in Have Heart and Sinking Ships (hardly a shock sonically at least, considering the last full-length efforts from HH and DTN were recorded by Jim Siegel).

is that new york? are those the twin towers i see? good dudes, good band listened and quickly forgot about it http://www.punkbands.com/images/releases/7706512200510185465.jpg While I like this band, the cover art for this album reminds me too much of With Honor's "This is our Revenge." Poster below: You're sort of understating it considering Kid Dynamite is one of my all-time favorite bands. KD used that beat incredibly sporadically on their albums while DTN sort of drove it into the ground on their earlier stuff. this guy bad mouths DTN on their extended 2-step part, but one of his favorite releases is kid dynamite... funny... i don't even think kid dynmaite used any other beat but a 2 step beat in their songs great album, their best so far. i think it's just fun to listen to. not much into hardcore like this, but my friend got me into them. decent band. I read this in rock sound in an article about the band and found it most amusing "This hammer of God is coming DOWN ON YOU!" its a good cd. much better live though (as usual with hardcore). I love this band. FIRST! |
