Blood For Blood from Boston are such influence for me with their great street hardcore with balls, heartbroken and street life lyrics and great melodies. Blood For Blood are dead, but Rob Lind continued the fight with Ramallah. This new record contains 8 songs of heartbroken, strong and emotional songs. This is maybe not your fast paced straightforward hardcore punk, but it is streetpunk oi hardcore at its finest. While listening to these songs, I had goosebumps on my skin and my bald head. It made me pump my fist in the air, but also made me cry with sorrow, and in the end it brought kinda hardcore catharsis in my blackened heart. I totally saw myself in the lyrics in the songs, in the melody and guitar work, so this record holds such a special place in my heart. Songs like acoustic gentle Bye Bye or the title song, or many Bruisers and Blood For Blood hommages to the lyrics like the rendition of City Boy and fantastic The Times We Had, make me wanna listen all over again and again. This record connects the glorious odes to the past with the future and the persistence in the scene. I am currently at the most difficult time of my life and countless times in last couple of months I thought just to end it all, but this record serves as my therapy, fucked up therapy, but still worth living. Classic!
