Trust In Few Shitlist Spook City Records Whenever you're in a band you always have creative influences that you have to keep to yourself for the continuity of the band. Well, Frankie of Death Before Dishonor created Trust In Few as an outlet for his love of hardcore punk rock. From composing and performing all of the songs, he also took the responsibility of recording the songs with an 8 track and a single microphone. This release definitely has a Pennywise, Social Distortion with hints of old Offspring. I'm sure the time he has spend in DBD helped him write some of the hardest breaks in a punk song, these breaks would put most moshcore bands to shame. Frankie knows how to write a memorable punk song, from the catchy chorus to the violence inducing breakdown. Plus the lyrics will put you on your ass just as quick an any toughguy album. The production on this is surprisingly good considering the tools he had at his disposal, kicking it old school in a basement with an 8 track and a mic. I really liked the fact that the mixing helped the bass, drums and vocals standout rather than getting drowned out by the guitar. The vocals really shine, though they could've been scaled back a bit in the volume department but between all the chants, shouts and singalongs this album really makes you want to jump on top on a pile of kids trying to get their mic time. The layout gets the job done with use of various shades of brown and black with Trust In Few in a tattoo font. Oh yes, and on top of all that there's an ode to the original punk, Johnny Cash with My Barrom and My Beer,

Rating: 4/5
