You are instantly smacked in the face by the powerfully amplified instrumental work and the superbly distinct American vocals from lead singer, Ty Vaughn. This follows with <em>\u2018Open Letter\u2019<\/em> another fast-paced track with a deep base and an emotional tone.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Minus One\u2019<\/em> has a bouncy up-beat melody that is simply captivating; you can\u2019t help but feel the need to move to this terrific track. This continues with<em> \u2018Lucky Lighter,\u2019 <\/em>which begins with a deep base and has a catchy chorus that you will be singing your heart out to. The track is filled with pure raw emotion and includes an exceptional electric guitar instrumental.<\/p>\n<p>The favourite is <em>\u2018Surrounded by Ghosts,\u2019<\/em> a typical hard-hitting punk rock track with catchy lyrics and heavy percussion; once again our ears are blessed with another outstanding electric guitar instrumental. Every track is a showcase of obscene wild passion and outstanding skills that have produced this electrifying and captivating album. Different to the rest is <em>\u2018Zombie World,\u2019<\/em> a slow-paced song featuring cleverly catchy lyrics and deep heavy drum and guitar work.<\/p>\n<p>Next is <em>\u2018Wildly Swinging\u2019<\/em> which is a fast-paced track with a wild melody and brutally powerful beat. This is mixed with a slow-paced, emotional, catchy chorus that gets you singing along. The contrast is hard-hitting and makes this track simply amazing. <em>\u2018Stealing Sailboats\u2019<\/em> follows in a similar style that showcases superb instrumental skills.<\/p>\n<p>The album finishes with <em>\u2018Full of Hope\u2019<\/em> a slower-paced emotional track with a punchy chorus and a fantastic melody. The entire album is crammed with smash-hit punk rock tracks that boast hard-hitting rhythms, rocky guitar riffs and marvellous instrumentals. The band has a similar style and sound to The Distillers and a more hardcore Green Day; we recommend \u2018<em>Comfort\/Distraction\u2019<\/em> to any avid punk rock fans.
