This one is out for a while, but it is never late for good music. New Death By Stereo album is perfect in any sense. This Los Angeles based band delivered one hell of an album with 10 songs of hardcore energy, heartfelt melodies, melodic guitar riffs, fast drumming, group singalong backing vocals. Above all, what I love about this band and what stands them out above others is trademark vocals of Efrem Schulz, this guy sounds like an angel while singing melodic clean vocals, also when shouting angrily. I just cannot decide which songs to recommend, but I will go with three: California Addiction, I Sing For You(part deux) and Choose A Side Or Open Wide. Perfect album and one of the contenders for the hardcore punk record of the year in my choice!

10/10
