Straight edge hardcore from New York, clearly influenced by Youth of Today, even the singer tries to sound like Ray. But even though this is not entirely original, the music is still honest and powerful, with lots of breaks and mosh parts. Good LP. [7]  

SE-HC aus New York, unverkennbar der Youth-of-Today-Einfluß, v.a. der Sänger müht sich redlich, wie Ray zu klingen. Ansonsten ist die Musik schneller HC mit vielen Breaks und Moshparts; in den Texten gibt es die üblichen SE-Durchhalteparolen. Insgesamt etwas einfach, aber durchaus kraftvoll und überzeugend. In Ordnung.
