I'm never sure what I'm going to get on Tooth & Nail. Call that a good thing or a bad thing but they sure keep you guessing. When I started listening to Lucerin Blue, the first track "Game" starts of with a very gentle piano interlude but before long I get the "How can you listen to that music?!" from my wife and I know I'm onto a good thing. Whenever there is a screaming vocalist I end up listening to the album in my personal space on my personal headphones. It didn't even help when I told her that Lucerin Blue had Christian roots. Tales Of The Knife is a one of the most refreshing albums that I have heard in the punk/hardcore genre in the last couple of months. The band calls Canada home but in all the research that I did on the band, I couldn't find what city. (Note to band, include in bio) The band's sound is a little metal, a little hardcore (along the lines of Thursday) and a little punk with a dose of pop thrown in for accessibility measure. I might even venture a call to say that it's progressive hardcore. Drop all preconceived notions about this being a Christian band because that doesn't even come into the equation where their heaviness is considered. I couldn't even really find any lyrics that touched on religion. All I heard on this Tooth & Nail album was some hard rocking punk that fires me up. It's got the melodic vocals as well as the screamo vocals. A nice measure that really provides room to get closer to the band. Let's hope that they follow down this path and provide us with some new faces in the world of radio rock.
