Converge

Unloved and Weeded Out (Deathwish Inc.)
by Adrian Bromley

You know a band has reached a certain status when they decide to re-record some of their older songs and re-issue them with demos/rarities for newer fans to pick up. Ten years strong, the Converge machine carries on, and here we have an album full of songs – some sounding better than the originals -for us to digest. If you’re a diehard fan, it’s worth it, but this Converge fan could live without this. Bring on the follow-up to the stellar Jane Doe!
