I know some would find it stupid for me to talk about my friends and band mates old bands album, but I just couldn't resist talking about this album. The first time I saw Hard Luck was a little over 2 years ago and to be totally honest at the time I wasn't too keen on them. However after maybe 2 more times of seeing them I was hooked. I was just floored by how catchy the riffs were and how flat out the faster 'thrashier' bits were. After playing numerous shows with Hard Luck and becoming friends with them they started talking about this album they were going to record and instantly I was keenly awaiting its release. As soon as the album did arrive I was so pleased with it, it was everything I was hoping for as a continuation from their previous songs. Fast, thrashy, punk hardcore songs with an almost surfy groove to them, amazing.
The riffs on this album are ones you can never get out of your head and the "famous" bass tone is just awesome for these songs. My personal favourite tracks include, 'Your Fate', 'To The Test', 'Work or Jerk' and 'Lost'. Being friends with these guys definitely fueled a lot of my love for the band, but regardless this album is killer. I'm so stoked that I got to see them as many times as I did and got to play with them as many times as I did as well. It sucks that they had to break up but check out Pressures On from QLD and Slowburn(self promo I know) for the dudes current efforts.

I went to trackside today, so many lame people in such a small place, bad weather for an outdoor show, Carpathian were cool and their nice dudes to boot and I saw a whole bunch of people from high school drunk.
I'm now going to spend my night listening to Crowbar and hanging out on my own...may watch a Sabbath dvd...may just enjoy the fact that Ive got no uni for 3 months and don't start back at work until tuesday.
I'm stoked as well at the fact that I have made a whole bunch of new friends recently that are all awesome people. Life is going pretty well.
