Open Mouth Kiss (Fierce)
by Chaz Thorndike

I’ve always had delusions about dirty NY metalcore. Nope. This is hard rock with thick bass, powerchord guitars, sissy vocals, and drumsticks a-twirling beats. The hardest the vocals get is when the singer needs to clear his throat. The anthemic “I Believe” might win a prize in a high school battle of the bands, but I’d rather get a daily dose of post-Shout At The Devil Crüe than have to listen to this again.
