Album Review: A Shipwreck A Castaway - Life In General

Over the past 18 months or so the Hardcore (or should that be "Hardcore"?) meets pop-punk sound has taken off in some circles. With this label debut effort, Riverside, CA's A Shipwreck A Castaway manage to encompass all what is good with both genres and perfectly roll them into one.

Opening in a brash manner with 'I've Got A Bad Feeling About This'; an energetic number with the bands use of duel-vocals coming off well. Whilst the hooky chorus shows the bands favorable pop-punk side, whilst musically the band come across more fierce with hard hitting drums.
