The new album by Swedish crew Abandoned By Bears will be released on August 24th via Victory Records. We were lucky to listen to the record and review it for this webzine.

The album contains 11 songs and the music these guys play borders somewhere between modern melodic hardcore and pop punk. On the one side you can get chugga chugga stop and go breakdowns like in Drowned Out and also more calmer and tender melodies with backing vocals like in Outrun Reality. Some people in the scene don´t like such bands claiming that they only jumped on a bandwagon to grab some glory, girls and money. I don˙t think so. I am also more into old school faster stuff but albums like this are really sometimes refreshing to have a go and listen for a while. There are some faster parts like in Held Against You.  I love the title song and the video those guys made for it. I also love Greyscale very much. It is true that some songs on this album might sound similar but there are more great songs on this album than those sounding similar, so this is a good record.
