Album Reviews
I just barely recuperated from New Found Glory’s ‘From The Screen To Your Stereo II” release and bam, we’re already treated to a whole new batch of songs. First there’s the NFG EP with 3 new songs (I especially like the opening track) along with three tasty covers from Lifetime, Gorilla Biscuits and Shelter. Kudos on that excellent selection!
And then there’s the band’s alter ego, International Superheroes Of Hardcore. Which basically gives New Found Glory a way to use every hardcore cliché in the book while singing about seatbelts, Indiana Jones, screamo and – my absolute favorite track on the album – Back To The Future.
With ISHC they have managed to take their juvenile sense of humour to a whole new level while proving they haven’t forgotten their hardcore roots just yet. Good times people, good times!
Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
