Taking their influences from a variety of bands such as Have Heart, Modern Life Is War, Verse or Defeater, ACCEPT THE CHANGE has come up with their very own mixture of modern hardcore. Listening to "Escapism", it's hard to imagine this to be their debut record, that's how strong it is. The songwriting is anchored by the passionate lyrics from singer Tom: "Escapism" is about the vicious circle of giving up and having to start over, only to hit the ground again. In these songs I talk about the things that I went through and how I felt about it. Starting out like all teenagers uncertain and anxious sinking to the blackest depths of major depression it's a journey through my mind. It will not be the most touching story you'll ever hear. But I can assure you it's real." "Escapism" is personal and deeply honest. There's no doubt that these five friends have poured their hearts into these tracks. They've come up with the perfect way to express their emotions through their music. Raw and sincere, you'll do more than hear these songs... you'll feel them. On colored vinyl.

Hailing from Fulton, NY, ANOTHER BREATH play honest, sincere and intelligent hardcore with intelligent lyrics. Great riffs, powerful chorus parts and a keen sense of melody are the ingredients for their songs which are filled with raw energy and passion. They're probably the best band that you've never heard of. Their unique blend of fast, yet melodic hardcore has a definite rock influence to it, at times reminding me of The Disaster and maybe even a little Kid Dynamite, without being derivative. This isn't just another hardcore record, this is an expression of friendship and love for music. So much so, that you can actually feel their urgency and emotional involvement, making ANOTHER BREATH stand out amongst their contemporaries. Tracks 1-8 were recorded at God City in Boston with Kurt Ballou, songs 9-12 (exclusive to the vinyl version) were recorded at Watchmen Studios by Doug 'Pearly' White. Both recordings perfectly capure the bands essence and their joy at doing something that means the world to them. Limited colored vinyl while stocks last. CD version available from Rival records.

'Finding A Balance' is nothing less than a treasure trove of hardcore anthems filled with tons of sing-along’s, grooves, and breakdowns. Lyrical subjects range from skateboarding to alienation to hating work and struggles with everyday life, issues we all can relate to.

Lyrically dark and desperate, The Disaster come out of New York City with a blast of powerful and melodic hardcore with raspy forced singing. The music is classic hardcore with melodic sensibilities. THE DISASTER sound like the most incredible combination of KID DYNAMITE, IN MY EYES and AMERICAN NIGHTMARE. The hoarse vocals are hard and harsh. They fuel the music with angst-ridden lyrics about depression, death and other dismal outcomes. Great lyrics, fast-paced drumming, blazing guitars, and thumping bass propel this into a fireball of fury. Every song is short, unyielding, and lethal. While banging out straight-ahead adrenalized rhythms, The Disaster is capable of sneaking in gusts of catchy melody. Aggressive and vicious, THE DISASTER have delivered one emotionally fantastic release that emphasizes all that is right about having passion for hardcore ('color me colonial'), and all that is true about fatalistic thoughts in moments of utter despair ('an ode to a dawn that will never come'). Jaw-dropping artwork and packaging, along with the vibrant production top off a release that will turn some heads.
