these guys tear stuff up, in a positive way, live vicariously through their music.check out their whole catalog, and check them out live and buy one of each of their shirts , one for every day of the week ,and wear them around town. these guys are the rill dill.super nice dudes too.if you like aggressive but thoughtful music, something cathartic but meaningful, explosive but beautiful, i say check it out. i give it four horns to the sky.

Looking back at my past review I categorized this record FAR too much. I'm sorry for this because I cannot express how awesome this record is and that it doesn't need to be categorized because its in it's own genre: it's like nothing you ever heard. I promise you this.

if ur looking for hard, honest, loud (VERY LOUD), fast, sweaty punk-infused rock...get this. PMFS have a heaping helping of attitude and snarl...two vocalists smash through these songs like its all they've got. The music itself is fairly simplistic, straight-forward. The mix isn't great, and some great guitar lines get almost completely lost beneath the barrage of sound, but this is a great album. Energy seeps out of every riff and drumbeat. This group has been touted emo (hasn't everything)...but frankly this would be the hardest and dirtiest emo out there....and its more along the lines of just straight up rock. Live?...a SERIOUS force to be reckoned with. Check out "Leveless" and "End Me In Richmond". Can't think of any bands they really...SOUND...like....so check em out..

This album is one of the 24 cds i could not LIVE without. David Iles states that the music is simplistic: no; I'm sorry: not at all: NOT PUNK AT ALL EITHER! These guys are balls out awesome, and if you can't see that you're missing out, because I won't be surprised when I see these guys opening for Tool one day, or hell: maybe Tool opening for them. These guys clearly won't sink down to being on tour with NOFX or Blink 182 so don't look here if that's what you want: this is Trent Reznor blowing his voice out with inspirational lyrics of Chino Moreno and the guitar riffs of kick you in the face At the Drive In, but as hardcore and energetic as Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, or Pantera. GREAT STUFF!

I don't understand this new hardcore trend going on. I give this band props for sounding a little different, but really this is just a bunch of noise and screaming. "Screamo" or whatever the lable is. Plus all the songs sound pretty much the same. Pretty over rated stuff.
