Half Hearted Hero – Defining. Refining.

This is a strong full length for this Massachusetts pop punk band. The hooks, dueling guitars and sing a long lyrics all come together to put a smile on your face.

Half Hearted Hero – Summer Demo

3 song demo from these New Bedford, MA pop punkers. Fun and catchy. I can’t remember where I downloaded this from but the band has this up for stream on their bandcamp.

H20 – CBGB OMFUG Masters: Live August 19, 2002 - The Bowery Collection

I’m not really a fan of live albums but I picked this up from the bargain bin and I figured this is the closed that I’m going to get to seeing a band at CBGB.

I really don’t know why hardcore bands put out live albums. They just don’t work. You need to be at the show. This show for example, the bass and guitars cut out halfway through the set and the band carry on. I’m assuming it is pure mayhem and hot as hell, but I wouldn’t know, because this is just a CD. You can tell that the band and the crowd are having a blast.

H20 – Go!

H20’s fourth album. Released in 2001 and on MCA Records! Wait! Hardcore on a major label! NO WAY! This album rules even if it was produced by the same guy who produced Maroon 5.

FFO: 7 Seconds, Gorilla Biscuits

H20 – F.T.T.W.

H20 are one of those hardcore bands that everyone seems to love and enjoy. Hell, even my girlfriend likes them! That’s how I tricked her into liking hardcore coming into hardcore shows with me! This is H20’s third album, released in 1999. This is fun and energetic hardcore with a bounce that doesn’t keep people from getting into them. This is the first H20 album that I got. Keep that PMA!
