Silent Fall - in a perfect world CD
Hey, sounding pretty good. Reminds me of Swiz (at least in the first song) in parts, but more tight and a lot more metally. Some of this sounds very typical of late 80's straight-edge hardcore except with more of an emotional edge. Great lyrics having to do with homophobia, suicide, unity ~ Rational Inquirer #9

Kill Sadie - Traitor CD & 7"
4 of 5 skulls Screamy emo/punk/grindcore with super fast timing changes. His Hero is Gone meets Grade??? The vocals are screamed out like Econochrist, which works quite well here. The best part is that while the music is played at lightning fast speed, every song has a memorable part and sounds different from the previous song. ~ Sliver 5

Noisy, screamy "go nuts" HC that is good at being noisy screamy go nuts HC. Better than most bands that sound like Rorschach, Heroin, Deadguy and Rites of Spring mixed together. they're food at the mixture. ~ Change Zine #11

Fervent Hardcore boasting throat-mangle vocals and a mesh of aggro and sublime early DC emo (Rites of Spring/Swiz) melodies. A formidable, often draining - in a good way - sound storm and Killsadie mix up the sweet with the stinging very well. ~ Suburban Voice No 42(!)


Lanyard - Realms 7"
Woah. Very different and unique. An all-instrumental 7" band that plays kinda-eerie complex HC with a saxophone and guitarist who match awesome notes. Tough to reference, but a more HC Craw with a sax for a vocalist gives you an idea. And the audience roars in approval! ~ Change Zine #11

Angles in the Architecture - One Ten CD & 7"
3.5 of 5 skulls After a couple listens the visions of boys in button up shirts and girls with cure hair started to pop into my head. Running along side bands like Texas is the Reason and Mineral, Angels in the Architecture play that melodic, semi-whine style of post hardcore meets rock, and they do it well. I can see the kids at their shows doing that "rock back and forth while slapping the chest" dance along with the beat, and I bet if I was at one of their chows I would probably so the same. Now my last question is, where the hell is Tonawanda, NY? ~ Sliver 5

A melodic burst of poppy, post hardcore music a warm buzz does emanate from the four compositions here. ~ Suburban Voice No 42(!)
