Take My Chances “Down Here With Us” CD

Take My Chances - Down Here With UsHello, bastards. No, that's not to direct any offense at Take My Chances, nor their debut full-length, "Down Here With Us", on One Day Savior. It's just that holy shit does some of this stuff sound dead on like Lifetime! And if not Lifetime, then perhaps Take My Chances' fellow (yet sadly defunct) Long Islanders The Movielife... if they were throwing a big ol' bash with, well, Lifetime. And fuck no that's not a bad thing... it's fucking great! Are you kidding me? 12 tracks of fast 'n' catchy as hell super energetic (Supergetic?) melodic hardcore in less than 20 minutes (I know, it's hard to consider that a "full-length", but screw it), including bonus covers of the Misfits' "Hybrid Moments" and "Wasted" by Black Flag. There are even a couple of borderline misleading harder, more dissonant tracks that showcase a harsher and more pissed side of the band, but I'll be damned if every fuckin' minute of it's not grade-A material. I'm sold. I don't even know what else to say. I had no idea what to expect from this CD and I've already listened to it like five times in less than 48 hours, which is practically unheard of for me. Great work!
