Skeptic? are the longest running hardcore punk band from Birmingham, Alabama being on the scene since 2001. This is their third lp and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

This record contains 12 songs of blistering and energetic hardcore punk, done like not many bands do it nowadays. This is angry, old school fast hardcore punk like time stopped and you are again that kid stomping around in mosh pit and circle pit, proud on every stage dive. Wait, some of us, including me, are still that kids. Angry, shouted vocals, cutting edge guitars, gang backing vocals make this record a keeper! There are some hints of nice back melodies, for example in the awesome “I Don´t Believe”. There are also some guitar solos like in “Contradictions”. If you are  fan of old school hardcore punk like Circle Jerks, Poison Idea, Negative Approach and stuff like that, this will be your new favorite band. This is Alabama´s best kept secret! After listening to the songs like “Bound to Lose” or “Countdown” you will feel like you got stung by hornets. But, you will want more and you will want that desperately.
