Album Favorite

"This was actually the first hardcore record I got. Someone told me that if I was into metal (check) and punk (check), then I'd like hardcore because it was a mix of the two. Whether or not that's true, I fucking love SOIA. My old band, Million Dead, were lucky enough to do some shows with them, and they remain a masterclass in a kickass live show, putting bands half their age to shame."
