Sticking with melodic hardcore, Long Island's Capital released a record entitled Homefront last year that doesn't stray too far from the Yeminite formula i can't seem to get enough of. I actually slept on this band for quite sometime, i remember reading reviews for this record and the one previous to it on Punknews but for some reason i didn't ever take the advice of the reviewers and check this band out.About a month ago i heard Homefront and i was immediately impressed. Musically it's got a major Dag Nasty feel to it, just sped up and much more spiteful. There are some more progressive qualities to this record that make it stand out. It's got somewhat of a post-hardcore vibe to it at times and i hate to use this comparison because I've heard it used many times before in reference to this band but these dudes definitely listened to a lot of Quicksand somewhere along the way.
One thing that jumped out at me is the way the vocals are delivered. They give you a really creepy, unsettling feeling and almost force you to listen to the lyrics, which are also really good. Do not sleep on this band, this record rules and would have undoubtedly made the top 10 in my Best of '07 list.
Ohh yeah i almost forgot, this is my 100th post with this blog. I have officially reached a level of internet savvying that i can put on my Resumé, right along my impressive inability to hold onto a job with any longevity.
