The Shell Corporation come from Burbank, California. The band is pretty hardworking and they released tons of 7 inchers and ep-s, toured a lot and this is their second full length album.

The album consists of 12  tracks of melodic punkrock played with a lot of energy and heart. When I started listening to the album I immediately liked “Make it Rain”, being very lyrically engaged but also very melodic and anthemic. Kinda reminded me of Ignite which I love very much. The music of this band is very melodic and energetic but also very angry in lyrics having that political side that a lot of newer punkrock bands lack. One of the highlights of the album is “Waters” being straightforward melodic fast punkrock anthem. I loved the No Use For A Name vibe of “Rooftops”. What I really love about this record is that the guys somehow managed to reach the perfect measure of political vs personal in their music, but both of those go hand in hand in real life anyway dont they? Also, they managed not to sound like anyones clone and that is also a rarity. Would love to see and hear them live sometimes. Awesome record.
