One Step Forward

Positive Thinking

Hey wow, great, albeit, generic 2000-era straightedge hardcore in the vein of Floorpunch, In My Eyes and Fastbreak before they wanted girlfriends. This EP is all about the stage dives; dive-bomb intros, and playing as fast as humanly possible without losing a sense of melody. If the last song, "No End in Site," weren’t your typical Modern Life is War/Comeback Kid type of emotional outpouring where everyone needs to sing along then I'd be all over this. Still, not bad at all.
