   This 5-piece is a tight and smooth form of NYHC hailing from Elmont, NY. The double-guitar attack of Brian Will and Hugo Fitzgerald is distorted and compressed to form a cohesive and clean sound. Lenny Di Stefani’s vocals nicely punctuate the noise and have a positively perfect pitch when he’s singing and not shouting. Bassist Mike Gallo (Agnostic Front) and drummer Steve Gallo (Maximum Penalty) hold down a tight rhythm section with a melodic bend.
Tunes with great sentiment like “Never Had…”, “Burning Inside”, and “Severed Ties” pull at the pure core of the soul. They also have their motivational rants like “Time Is Now” and “On The Rise”. Executive producer Roger Miret contributes backing vocals on “Turncoat”, and has done a fine job of orchestrating the project with the help of the production team of Mike Dijan and Dean Baltulonis. It’s more polished than a lot of the hardcore out there these days and deserves to be played very often and very loud.
