Ten-song debut full length from Brisbane’s Army Of Champions that follows their brilliant EP, also on the Arrest label. Channeling the sounds and inspiration of the likes of Against Me, Hot Water Music and the Gaslight Anthem, AOC’s sound would fall somewhere in between the three. With a gravelly main vocal and a smoother backing vocal, the delivery is very much reminiscent of the HWM formula. The clean guitar sound ala Gaslight and the catchy anthemic choruses much akin to Against Me, all add to the masterpiece. Throw in the odd bit of brass horn into the mix and you have one very interesting collective and matured sound for a band on its second release.
