I used to do this thing where i would watch drum covers on YouTube and there was this drummer who would always play these Catherine songs. So finally i was like " ok, I'll bite stupidly attractive and talented drummer." So it turned out the band not only had a kick ass drummer but some pretty talented guitarists as well. This is a pretty solid record, better then the new one i think. This band, ear splitting goodness.

Saw these guys on tour with Fear Before like 5 years ago, they were excellent live. All and all it's a pretty decent record if you're prepare for spinal shaking guitar riffs and throat mongering vocals.

Oceana is a Florida band that after putting out their first record The Tide, parted ways with their front man and got Brennan Talbee. First i will start with: despite what other people keep trying to tell me is my opinion, i thought The Tide was meh. Honestly i was more excited about the Creations demo then that whole album tbf. In my opinion this record is a surprise, Brennan is a refreshing change of pace. Being able to be understand lyrics while singing and screaming isn't a bad thing kids. Besides, they still have a fucking kick ass drummer and the guitar riffs will still cut your eardrums to pieces.

Serious return to Underøath's sweet ass potential. Emergency Broadcast will just destroy your stereo system. Pretty sure if your a drummer your gonna love this song. Couple other gems like Fault Line, Coming Down, and Too Bright. This album was truly just a nice surprise in 2008.
