Straight outta NYC comes this six song EP by SWORN ENEMY, one of the first bands signed to Jamey Hatebreed's record label, Stillborn. This band shows a lot of promise in one EP. From the start of "NEW BREED", you are tossed headfirst into pure NYHC that kicks you directly in the gut and starts a circle pit around after you hit the ground. Then to huge sing-a-longs with "IDS" (Giving props to the infamous NYHC crew IDS, "Instant Death Squad"), soon finishing you off with "LAST RITES". This is old school meets new school hardcore at it's best. Keep your eyes peeled for these guys in the near future. Under Jamey Hatebreed's wing, SWORN ENEMY should be going places fairly soon.
