Virginia has to be pretty cool place to live if you’re into solid punkrock and hardcore. Last in a long line of f-ing great bands, is Worn In Red who seemingly come out of nowhere with “In The Offing”.

Combining the sounds of mid-tempo post-hardcore with some good ol’ Washington DC sounds is a genious move. Right from the start these guys go for the jugular with gnarly vocals and a shitload of excellent riffs, blending sheer power and melody like Planes Mistaken For Stars did so well. Then proceed by adding some Fugazi, Quicksand and Modern Life Is War to the mix and you’re there. What that sounds like exactly? Pretty damn awesome if you ask me. I’ve been listening to this one for weeks now and still haven’t grown in the least bit tired of it.

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.
