A
Day to Remember
For Those Who Have Heart
Victory Records
myspace.com/adaytoremember
The five guys who make up A Day To Remember look like they’re
living every art institute dropout’s perfect dream. They tour
everywhere under the tender care of the Victory label (don’t worry
guys, they’ll take care of your money real well...), have lots
and lots of photos of themselves on their myspace page (which also names
all their various booking info people, label people and a bunch of other
crap they never read because Victory probably did most of the work themselves...),
and most importantly have those big stretched out ear piercing like
some African tribesmen, which of course makes them persecuted and misunderstood
by “the man.”
Anywho, the first track is alright, a kind of clean Green Day sound,
for about thirty seconds, and then...oh yeah, right — Victory
Records.
Almost forgot that all you guys put out is Screamo. Sorry, my bad.
It’s just that sometimes it would be nice to open up one of your
brand-new pre-broken jewel cases and find something that doesn’t
just appeal to white twenty-something suburban kids for a change. Really,
does the youth market need more crap to buy?
So, in conclusion, For Those Who Have Heart is a screamo
album, which is mostly inarticulate growling and really fast drums,
and if like screamo you will like it or, if you don’t like screamo,
you just might heave it out your car window somewhere on Broadway near
Penn Valley Park, you know where, the place where Kansas City is going
to fix the mass transit problems by tearing out a road everybody uses
and, apparently, putting in some kind of gondola.
Sounds kinda like screamo, don’t it? —Brandon Whitehead
