The Rising Tide (part 2): Rock Sound

[Djevara]

"One way to get your band's ethos noticed is to outline your stance on social issues in a spoken-word assault of an opening track, as Djevara do on 'The Offer'. While it's powerful as all Hell, it shouldn't distract from the fact that 'The Rising Tide (Part 2): Hear No Evil' is chaotic hardcore that's as emotionally charged as it is socially aware, with particular impact from an account of domestic violence in 'The Tort Of False Light'. The only downside is that you can't quite hear the vocals in the mix sometimes, but that's easily compensated by getting in line with the lyrics and shouting along.
For fans of: Fugazi, Sometimenever, Refused"
