It feels like forever since I've heard new music from Paint It Black and well to be fair it has been nearly four years with their last two EPs "Amnesia" and "Surrender" released back in 2009. Now PIB return with a new 5 song 7 inch, on a new label in that of No Idea, having released records via Fat Wreck, Bridge 9 and Jade Tree in the past. Fronted by the anguished screams of Dan Yemin, best known for his guitar wizardry with Kid Dynamite or Lifetime, his intelligent lyrics really set this band apart for me. Combine that with the band's unique melodic hardcore approach and this sounds more aggressive and confronting than 100 of today's hard riff bands. Essential listening.
