New 4 song 7inch release for the reunited legendary Melbourne band, Grim Reality. There are 3 new tracks on offer along with a Rose Tattoo cover of the classic ode to tattoos "Scarred For Life". Musically this sounds a lot like the Grim Reality of old, just a touch more modernised in production, though I kind of wish the vocals were a touch louder in the mix. Frontman Dimma has mellowed since the "Out To Win" days and lyrically this is very reflective of the years that have passed. Second track "Our Fight" is the definite stand out track and has that catchy melodic undertone to it that Grim Reality do so well. Solid comeback release and a great starting point for the unfamiliar.
