I wasn't sure what to expect after listening to 'The Drive By (Intro)', but once those drums kicked in (you know, the ones that sound like they were recorded in a bathroom? The Judge - Bringin it Down sounding ones.) I knew I was going to love B'urst.
More chains. I don't care what anyone says about bands riding the 'Chain Hype', I think it rules and Feeding Chain is doing it right. Even if you don't intend on buying these tracks at least do yourself a favor by listening to em.

The Shrapnel Demo has been at the top of my playlist along side Detroit's Freedom and I'm just now realizing how fitting that is. Sure 2014 just started, but this already may be my favorite demo of the year. Download
