It's interesting to see the early days of the band was a PA hardcore sound with a heavy dose of emo shouting. It feels so free and captures the joy of youth as well as some of the more sappy heartbreak. It's hard to really rally around lyrics like "I hate myself" and "You left me all alone on that cold day" past your 20's but it's a cool sound. They grew a bunch after this. This feels like a really tight high school punk band.
