Following a couple of demo releases, their debut s/t 7" and full lenght come loaded with energetic fast parts and sing-a-long choruses combined with awesome metallic guitar riffs and breaks. Add in some sincerely bitter lyrics about friendship and betrayal, and that pretty much sums up what this band is all about.
