Screaming Poetry

"Before Today is suprisingly fresh compared to other emerging artists in the punk/hardcore genre. They combine poetic and intelligent lyrics with a driving backbeat and searing guitars to form an aggressive yet melodic sound.
The fact that they have cited all types of music as their influences bleeds through in their music, showing more depth and range outside the punk genre.
If they weren't different from other bands enough by their music, the lyrics really push them ahead. The lyrics are extremely intellectual and a relief from the direction music is going these days.
Before Today is truly a band to watch.

Rip off of every scene band out.

"Mainly of them all: Chiodos. Which is signed to the same damn label! jesus what ever happened to variety.
all in all its not that bad. good breakdowns and enough "variety" to not sound repetitious. but for god sakes they sound exactly like chiodos. while taking no risks at all almost to gain every fan possible in the scene.
So if you're a scene whore then you are sure to like this and every other band in the scene. if you arent and like select bands or "whine-core" then maybe you still might like it. and if thats the case do yourself a favor and get chiodos instead. they do it better."
