Mind-blowing Emo-core from the western part of The Netherlands, a band with 100% dedication to their music. Gigs with a huge dose of energy and passion make this band remarkable in their own way; the same way they will blow the speakers out of your ghetto blaster with their dynamic riffs, mixed with powerful vocals and screams. When I saw that this band hails from Holland I was very surprised because I had never heard of them before. This might be because I’m not too much into Emo-core. When I heard this album I immediately thought of Thrice and A Static Lullaby. What I don’t like about this album is the crying vocals it results in a terrible sound. On the other hand the screaming vocals are much better. The sound is really cool but the pitch of the guitars is too high.

If the guitars would be lower pitched I suspect it would sound a lot better. Another down point is that the album is too standard: it doesn’t have an original sound and that’s unfortunate because I hear that this is a good band in its genre. For more information concerning the shows of the band check www.sanandreas-web.com I think I will hear lot more about San Andreas in the future.
