"I heard about these guys from a friend of mine in San Marcos Tx, who had seen them play a show at his school. He brought their cd down for me to listen to. Their mix of electronica and hardcore and their lyrics were very original. If these guys don't make it big in the next year to year and a half I've lost all hope for music."

"Not metal. Not indie rock. Not emo. Not punk rock. No genre could be used to describe this band exclusively. Influenced from each other? Yes, but not as a whole. Any band that can offer a sense of salvation to anyone, no matter what amount, is worth a listen. So here is what we offer: The Rise. They play with a style that is, on a very basic level, hardcore. This could be classified as punk-core. It's definately different, but still great. Put The Dingees + Transplants + Minor Threat= The Rise. That's all I can say. An Automated Response If You Will is the best song on the entire CD. This is a definate must have. It's got hardcore, punk, rap, and straitedge all mixed up and put out into probably the most original record I've heard in a while. A must have!"
