Entry the 28th: Blood For Blood - Revenge On Society

As I recall, I got this a day after my birthday, from a different store that I wasn't able to make it to on the big day. Yet again, the Victory Records website directed me towards this. Boston hardcore with a bitterness reminiscent of Slapshot but without all the straightedge and hockey references. A bitterness that was somewhat comical even to the surly teenager that I was, so cartoonishly angry were the lyrics. My crustiness prevailed however and I managed to take these guys (mostly) seriously.

Leaning more toward the hardcore end of the music I was listening to, Blood For Blood was close enough to punk to appeal even to some of my less hardcore-inclined friends like Jules. Somewhat appealing anyway.

This is still a pretty fun listen. It does the trick that it is supposed to do, but I would not say that I would go out of my way to listen to it very frequently. Some of these slower songs are pretty terrible, but otherwise this record can still make me smile.
