Pound For Pound are back with a new 7" filled with their solid hardcore offerings from the Midwest. Fast old NYHC influenced hardcore with plenty of punch when it comes to slowing things down. After the success of their CD "For Our Fallen Brothers" (Surprise Attack) the St. Louis boys went back into the studio to capture more of their depression, angst, and distrust for the world & police. This record isn't pretty and it wasn't meant to be. The animosity towards the rest of the world pours from singer Kenny Pounds heart with the utmost conviction. Title track "Common Crooks" takes it to a new level for the band with superb song writing and lyrics that will please any citizen that is tired of authority figures abuse. Pound For Pound have shared the stage with many great heavy hardcore bands like Hoods, Wisdom In Chains, & Strength For A Reason. If you're into music like Sick Of It All, Skarhead, 100 Demons, and Breakdown you should own this record.
