Two straightedge bands that are pissed about having to do stuff and crutches and pride and whatnot. Both are well recorded, fast, and pissed sounding with mosh parts appearing in all the right places and logos that feature varsity lettering. Both bands are solid and sincere with reasonable discourse and no ridiculous thug posturing. Formulaic, but who wants to hear free-form straight edge? Good, good, good if that’s what you are into. G to the O!
