1. Panic

5. Broke
Blimey! These are great! Their first track Panic hit me with the same kind of impact as the first time I heard Billy Talent or Alkaline Trio, and Haddonfield's songwriting is easily comparable to those bands. Their music has the kind of lyrics that give you a buzz to read and complete the relationship between the band and the listener.
The tracks on this CD were recorded in 2 seperate places, some by Greg Haver (who recorded Lost Prophets and Bullet for my Valentine among others) and some by Nick Lloyd (who has recorded various Welsh bands, none of which I've heard of). The Haver produced tracks (Romero, A & E and Broke) somehow lack the depth of the others during the instrumental sections and could definitely do with a remix to bring out the best sounds.
This is one for those who want to hear some compelling, singalong, clever, moshable punk rock.
