Perhaps no one can explain the sheer ferocity and timid quietness it is better than when vocalist Craig Owens says “we don’t want to let the kids down” when discussing the group’s intense vocals live at shows.

It was one year. A year between the noted ’06 album “The Troubled Stateside” and this, “Crime In Stereo Is Dead”. It found the group feeling disjointed and disconnected from themselves, their label, and even their fans. One member went to work as a political consultant, helping judicial candidates for the New York State Democratic Party while his diabetes continued to plague him each and every day. Meanwhile Mike Musilli became a teacher for his hometown high school. They decided to give songwriting another whirl, and set about to record “…Is Dead” with Bridge Nine Records stepping in and partnering. Amazing their punk and melodic hardcore sound was even more refined, finding the group destined to produce an album as explosive and discordant as their critically acclaimed “The Troubled Stateside”. Catchy songwriting, politically leftist allusions, and chugging guitars churn their way into a butter that makes every piece of toast that more inviting and addictive. MMM, good.
