Reviews

Now a decade old, it still sounds energeticand fresh, and surely had an influence on many groups to emerge since.

- Punk Planet
Urgent vocals, angular guitars, and choppy lyricfragments are what Corm hurl forthbest, making them one of the best, but least-known, post-hardcore emopredecessors.

- Punk Planet
An essential look back that should not bemissed.

- First Coast News
Strong songwriting from beginning to end

- Indie Workshop
With unpredictable time changes, churningguitars, quick drums and dejected shouts, this band crafted an album trulyrough and impressively authentic.

- Punk Planet
A morsel of guitar-laden goodness that'sstill tasty 10 years later.
