Fuggin' fade outs... I hate them. If you can't finish a song properly, don't fugging bother to write it in the first place. Bring Me The Horizon, minus one circle-type star thing at the bottom of this review for chickening out of slaying with the end of 'Rawwwrr!'. Fade outs are for pussies.

It's the only one of those yellow circles I'm gonna deduct though, 'cause the rest of this is a fuggin' riot. Why more hardcore-slash-punk bands can't play beyond the tiresome post-hardcore approach - sing/scream/sing/repeat - is a mystery, 'cause those that do are so much better than those apeing their US cousins. BMTH are in the same rough mould as fellow domestic upstarts The Nothing and Chariots - songs are tough, brutal, and more punk than Johnny Rotten undercrackers worn for five days solid. 'Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody?' is a stand-out title on a four-track EP full of real promise. Yeah, the title has you all Blood-Brothered before pressing play, but trust me: there's no little teapot dancing or high-pitched yelping here. It's all gut-splitting rage and enthusiastic guitar mangling from the word go.

Fuggin' quality then, pussy fade out aside. Buy it and bleed your ears dry.

Bring Me The Horizon - This Is What The Edge Of Yo

Ugh, Chariots. Can't get on with them. They're from around here, like, but it's just...harsh...I can see why people like it but it just hurts to listen to for me. When I went to see them is possibly the most intimidated I've ever felt.
