UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

ALL HEROES - BITE THE BULLET

Cut above average emocore tinged hardcore. There's enough sloppy punk moments for the boys not to lose the faith, from the go you have dual vocals, strong melodic lines and progressive breaks. Yeah, it's more original than 99.9 percent of melodic facing fodder in the hopper, though it definitely has it's Bad Religion moments; so not so traditional as to be overly exceptional. Lyrics and vocal phrasing, how the signing is fit into the twisting and turning morass of guitar madness wrought by Ahmadi and Ageno, shows some tight family valued relations. This adds to the progressive edge allowing for on-the-spot injection. Metal guitar shows up often early also, which is another plus for punk flavored bands wanting some diversification. Where they boys break though, is when too much emotion and sappy invade the landscape. Though once again, the lyrics prowess comes through on the potentially beautiful "It Crumbles Away". Real songwriting. Stay tuned. Contact: Kevin Ahmadi, 5023-a Clayton Rd. Concord, Ca 94521. http://allheroesmusic.com kevin@allheroesmusic.com
