Once upon a time, there was this band that Owen Black would not quit talking about. He was hyping the hell out of these dudes. It bordered on ridiculous. He was super amped because they were real young, loved the edge and were down for the core. I ended up seeing them for the first time at WPI back in October of 2004 (This was the same show where Greg made a long winded speech about how stupid eating meat is. Good shit). Damn, the singer looked like he was 12, but he was giving 100%. Really, he was probably giving 110%. After that, HYE? proudly hosted their website. The band grew, they continued to tour and gradually, more and more kids started to get into them. Fast forward to now. Youth Attack pulled their site from HYE (as no one ever updated it. Probably my fault too). I hadn't heard much about the band, except some negative shit about edge breaking and the lot. I didn't put much stake in any of that. Then the other day, voila, I get a package from Worcester. I don't know anyone in Worcester anymore, so I was psyched. Turns out, it is the new Youth Attack cd and a shirt. Fuck yeah. They had one left over from tour and wanted to thank me (Bands, take note. This is a great way to get a good review. ;)). The CD is bold. Long gone are the days of Jeff drawing penises on his body. The youthful silliness is out, and the rocking punk is in. Short songs blast one after another with great drum fills and tight breakdowns. This band means business and business is good. It's also nice to see that Jeff puts the edge break rumors to sleep with "Never Forget." As a bonus for the CD, they even throw on a Operation Ivy cover. Sounds good. You have to like that. Check this album out if you haven't yet. You can find them over on Think Fast! Records or Youth Attack @ Myspace.
