Experimental is definitely the word for this...

is desperately scrambling to sound like everyone else, it's refreshing
to hear a group who obviously don't give two shits about what's cool

to fuse the guitar acrobatics of Converge with rapid fire double
bass runs and the rock n roll swagger of Every Time I Die.
On paper that might sound a little
strange, but what you'll get within a BLS song is a three minute blast

clearly talented musicians they are smart enough to know that a song
still needs a hook. So while you may be blown away by the musicianship
that's on display on this 3 track demo I find it more impressive that

This is easily one of the most
impressive demo CD's I've heard in 2007, so do yourself a favour and
go watch the band pull these tunes off live!
