After hearing All Idols Fall‘s demo it wasn’t a surprise when I’d heard they’d penned a deal with Deck Cheese. Easily one of the best (then) unsigned bands around, their mix of A Wilhelm Scream/Crime In Stereo melodic hardcore gave many bands around them the kick up the bum they needed. Raw, aggressive and passionate this EP carries on the very good work of the demo and suggests AIF will probably be the best UK band of their genre by the year’s end.
From the gang vocals of ‘Here Forever’ to the sheer genius of ‘The Brink’, this is just a good old fashioned punk rock record from start to finish. Vocally it’s gruff and raw but that suits them down to the ground. The guitars are technical but not overly flashy, while the drums and backing vocals do their thing expertly. The recent AWS tour and dates with Anti Flag will only cement the band’s position as one of the top bands of their type. Catch them now, they deserve your attention.
