Dust off your leather jacket and gel up your devil lock. The Unseen are here and they're going to show you how to properly do the punk chant in three chords or less. Complete with eight-second guitar solos and angry as Shitler Youth screaming about Bushonomics ("Weapons of Mass Deception").

This music takes me back to fifth grade when I had a punk band called The Safety Pin Coalition, now those were the good ole days of underground punk rock, none of this Good Charlotte fag rock. One thing that I find troubling about this album though, is the obvious similarities to Strike Anywhere. The bands sound a lot alike and compare the album titles, "To Live in Discontent" as opposed to "State of Discontent." Can you smell that? It has that certain odor of impending litigation. In any case, I'm glad to see in the last year or two the amount of real punk rock sounding music has come back into the picture with the help of bands like Comeback Kid, Give up the Ghost, to name but a few.

Produced by Ken Casey from The Dropkick Murphys, State of Discontent is pretty damn good from start to finish. I was surprised; judging by Mark's Mohawk, I thought this was going to be more lame poseur crap.
