Music Monday: For.The.Win.

(Click to give it a listen, streaming via Punknews.org)

Last year I played a show with For.The.Win., and it was the first time in a long time that I could remember having watched a band's entire set. I thought they wrote really strong, catchy, abrasive punk rock that veered toward hardcore without the usual tough guy trappings. Through the miracle of the internets, I became friends with these guys and joked about coming over to do guest vocals on a song. Long story short, I wound up singing* on tracks 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and playing guitar in the band at their CD release.

*by singing I mean screaming my head off until I gave myself a piercing headache.
