Five song ripper from this quartet out of Maine. If the cover art is any indication these guys wear a lot of Nike. A cartoonish drawing of a baldy wearing both a Nike tee shirt and Nike sneakers adorns the J-card. Anybody who’s seen my recent drawings knows I can get down with that. The artists name is Chris X, so yeah, you know what’s going on here. Pretty derivative yet good mid-paced straight edge hardcore, with an Agnostic Front cover (“Discriminate Me”) thrown in for good measure. Time to X up and slam dance. Or grow up and slam a beer. Your choice. Actually if you live long enough and have an open mind, you have the opportunity to do both.

MG Ultra
Future Classic (2024)

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever. I wish I knew more about the meaning of a brush stroke or even had the desire to know more about the meaning of a brush stroke. I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
