Frontside Five

Thank God for punk rock. Simple and cheaply executed, it's a musical haven that is mutually exclusive for disgruntled adolescents and jaded, aging rockers. Punk, an ode to thee: How you make anger palatable and cynicism worthwhile! When you die, your many offspring will remember you as the beginning of the end, and Denver-based Frontside Five will surely be there to lower you into the ground. Frontside Five hails from the local skateboarding community and essentially makes hyperactive rock with a thrash-it-dude mentality. Fall Out of Line pulls from the usual influences: Rollins-era Black Flag choruses, TSOL-tinged melodies and frenzied early-Dischord-style drumming. Punk has its limitations, no doubt, but that doesn't make it any less important in the big rock scheme. The youth of today want a voice, and even if it's just fireball energy dumbed down to three chords, Frontside Five is still a thousand times more interesting than what passes for the mainstream drivel of Sum 41-like counterparts.
