"These Maine (of all places) punk/hardcore soldiers formed during the summer of 2001. Sine that time, they have been touring all over the New England area with bands like THE HOPE CONSPIRACY and STRIKING DISTANCE. Their album, "You Make Us Sick" under Bridge 9 Records is a disruptive, thrashing punk/hardcore album that represents a big old middle finger to anyone who might disagree with the punk doctrine of life. They play with drag strip speed that suddenly stops and then begins the process of ripping apart into a quick stint of abrasive hardcore breakdowns. Fused together with this format are the required mob style choruses and the occasional guitar lead. Structurally, the songs are relatively tight and they will no doubt create that buzzing sensation in your ears. There is quite a bit of noise to swallow in this 15 song, 15 minute blast of punk orchestration. They may not become the next big punk band but for those who want boundless punk with a severe attitude with the likes of GANG GREEN in mind, OUTBREAK has it dialed.
