§  Great melodic NYHC, not too typical for that label because the hate/macho stance is missing almost completely, this rather has a slight (early) 7 Seconds touch. Of course this is “real” NYHC, though, and a real classic of that genre, they just didn’t follow the clichéd metal sound. [8]

§  Obwohl diese erste GB-7” auf Revelation erschienen ist, klingt sie nicht so sehr nach der üblichen Youth of Today/NYHC-Masche (obwohl die Texte nicht gerade originell sind); man orientiert sich ein bißchen am frühen 7 Seconds-Sound; melodischer, schneller und kraftvoller HC. Sehr gut.

§  Tracks: high hopes / big mouth / no reason why / gm2 // hold your ground / breaking free / finish what you started
