Street Dogs - State of Grace
Register to Vote: Rock the Vote, powered by Credo Mobile

Is there enough Orgcore in your life? No? Well, take a gander at Eau Claire, Wisconsin's Arms Aloft and witness a key three of their many influences: Dillinger Four, Jawbreaker and Hot Water Music.

Granted, you and I wouldn't think that such a potent, gravelly and melodic punk rock sound would come out of the state, but here we are, listening to a seriously promising band who takes from the aforementioned to create a sound that occasionally provides similarities to those bands and None More Black. After all, check out opener "Dreams Are Dogs That Die in Their Kennels" -- you've got a forceful, deep-throated singer and a chord progression so bouncy this company's probably moshing.

This very demo contains five songs that should get your fist pumping and your body moving. Scope it!

    "Arms Aloft" is a great song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.

    I can't wait to get home and check this out based on the review. My fuckin work computer doesn't even have a sound card. Bogus.

    I had to call the city of Eau Claire at work once and their hold music was "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash. Sweet.

    My Score:

    This demo kicks an insane amount of ass. I smell a No Idea/Red Scare co-release in the future.

    Dudes should do a split with No Brass.
