My review of your record is like this LOWCLASS-ALL I SEE IS CHAOS (MINI-CD NO LIFE RECORDS) I got this mini-CD and a t-shirt from the group and that t-shirt I have already used two times but I haven’t had the time to listen to the record until now. I really don’t hope that they’re bad or racists or something like that and that I have their t-shirt on. But of the influences is bands like The Misfits, Rancid, Social Distortion, 13 Dead End Drive, Minor Threat and that’s written on their website so I’m not so worried. The record is on and I can breathe out because this is very competent punk rock which streams out from my stereo and the thing I most impressed by is the tough and compact sound which the group is giving us. A really interesting American young band and I look forward to the next record… (EIGHT) 13/11-06 what about it?

-The next record: Well we don’t like rushing music I guess that’s why it hasn’t been released yet but yes we have lined up songs that we personally like and know you all will enjoy. We will be releasing it in summer of 2007 so be on the look out for that. It’s mainly about our life experiences and what we deal with in a day to day basis. I just had a good friend pass away and we will be dedicating this record to him. Mike R.I.P.
