Here’s an Albany, NY trio that is trying to blow new life into 90s melodicore and is doing a pretty damn good job of it on “Fort Orange”. In barely 23 minutes they tear through 13 songs that are of the faster-than-fast variety with shouted vocals, straightforward lyrics and enough technicality to build you a house they can then blast to smithereens with bombshells like “Thomas Philbrick” and “Poor Excuse”. Think back to a time when it was all about Good Riddance, early Strung Out and Satanic Surfers. Yeah baby!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
