Hmmm...interesting thought. I can't agree with it, however, since I really do enjoy They're Only Chasing Safety, and there have been a myriad amount of carbon-copy bands who tried to make that sound their own. Also, I'm surprised you didn't enjoy Bless the Martyr. "Face:Face" is probably the best metallic hardcore song I've ever heard.

not when I first heard it. I do enjoy it now, but I think that will stand as a different band since Josh left. The funny thing was, Bless the Martyr was more of a reference to a lot of the solid state bands that came after Norma Jean - even Underoath to an extent...that album was THE album for a lot of my friends since The Moon is Down...

Oh definitely, same here. During high school there seemed to be a transition of sorts into heavy music. I believe bands like Norma Jean, and especially Underoath, made it more mainstream. I will still to this day say, though, that The Moon is Down is my favorite record of all-time, and has been since 2002.

josh scogin is the man, everything he releases is awesome, his lyrics are sick and his screams are such full of passion, he even has a nice soft side (a rose by any other name), and then live he just has so much presence. i dont listen to a whole lot of hardcore music but josh scogin is by far one of the best in the genre.
