Another Day

No Tomorrow (2005)

Gutshot


Another Day play pretty solid hardcore in the musical vein of True 'Till Death-era Chain of Strength with a little more melody and more modern influences, and lyrics focused more on some subtle sociological perspectives rather than the edge values COS placed their...strength in, at least at first. Fuzzy vocals that are a bit garbled in the production but mercilessly intense lead guitars drawing a bit of rock influence and some creative triads instead of mindless 3-chord pounding.

I'll go with "Raised by a Lie" as the obvious standout here. Its opening riff initiates a surprisingly playful tone throughout the song, and the lead guitar sounds like something Crime in Stereo might've written in their early days. "Drawing Dead" makes efficient use of a movie quote though, so points for composition there, while "245 Trioxin" is one of the better abruptly ending songs I've heard in recent memory. "G7"'s admirable breakdown has a bit of Bane about it.

So there you have it. Another Day could be another sucess story in a burgeoning Long Island hardcore scene if they capitalize on their influences as their EP here, No Tomorrow, seems to promise.
