Dispell all thoughts of teenage angst, and replace them with aspirations of hardcore experimentation and punk rock evolution - this is how FBTMOF are thinking, and they're doing it in their teenage years (well, kinda; a couple of 'em are 20). Think The Blood Brothers; think Botch; think Converge; imagine a band throwing influences from each into a mix. Exciting, non? This debut is far from the fully-realised final product, but as blueprints for future releases go, it's pretty special. 'Girl's Got A Face Like Murder' is as good a representative album track as you'll get, all wailing vocals and guitars that sound as if they're being stabbed at with an ice pick, but no single track really stands out - there's just so much going on here it has to be appreciated as a whole. 'The 20th Century Was Entirely Mine' meanwhile packs enough killer hooks into its three minutes to keep a North Atlantic fishing fleet supplied 'til Christmas, and should tempt newcomers to this post-hardcore thang away from the more chart-friendly acts they're currently used to.

Kids doing it for the kids? Who'd have thought? Roll on the sophomore effort, due this September!
