Album Reviews

Panic is a label on the rise and they prove it once again with The Golden Age’s second full-length. “Unlock Yourself” is chock full of melodic hardcore anthems that hit all the right spots. All of the cuts on here are fast-paced, energetic as hell and come with more hooks than a tackle box. Oh, and there are plenty of opportunities to sing along and feel smart thanks to the meaningful lyrics. Think Strike Anywhere or Stretch Armstrong, get excited, then embrace “Unlock Yourself” and regret the fact that albums like this don’t come out all the time. The Golden Age may not be reinventing the wheel with this one but show that it still a lot of miles left.
