"Stand & Fight (Self-Titled)"
by
Bill Vogel III
July 9, 2004 A.D.
Stand & Fight is the Straight Edge equivalent of napalm-raw, harsh, and beautiful. Their 2003 self-titled opus, released on Bridge Nine Records, is a whirlwind of jagged, vicious rhythms fused with blasting guitars and thoughtful lyrics. Stand & Fight passes the Hardcore test with flying, bloody colors.
Edgy, primal drumming nails together snarling leads, ferocious tempos, and raw vocal barrages. Powerful and fierce, Stand & Fight is a juggernaut of brilliant aggression. This is a gnashing, ripping Hardcore masterpiece.
The best of these killer cuts includes "Pressure Builds," the catchy hook of "Stand & Fight," "I Won't Break," the raging "Pushing Your Luck," and "Nothing New." Stand & Fight is an act of God-both unrelenting and phenomenal.
In conclusion, Stand & Fight carry the standard for the new generation of Straight Edge warriors. Stand & Fight is pure, epic intensity. Take a stand.... Stay savage. Farewell.
