Not many major labels are signing metal bands these days, unless it's wuss rock or "nu-metal" so I'm surprised that these guys were picked up. Imagine Prong, slammed together with newer C.O.C., Sevendust, and maybe a touch of hardcore. I'm struggling a bit for a proper description, but I'm hearing bits and pieces in here. Guess you've gotta hear it for yourself, but the guitar tone is nice and chunky, the vocalist can actually sing, the riffs are catchy, and wow,the songs have more than 3 chords. Hell, I like it, good old stanard metal, nothing too flashy, but it doesn't bore you death either.
