Underminded - Hail Unamerican!
Kung Fu Records (2004)

What is this band doing on Kung Fu? I always associated Kung Fu more with the ska-fun-punk of the Assorted Jelly Beans than a brutal hardcore band that seems to want you to peek at both sides of the coin.

Just because this doesn't fit on Kung Fu doesn't mean that its not a great hardcore album and a great pick up for Kung Fu. I'm reminded of a heavier and angrier Bane, with a vocalist who will sound pissed off until his vocal chords stop working. The music is hardcore, but it steers away from the traditional sounding hardcore, which is why I like this album so much. The gang vocals are nothing short of incredible on here.

Underminded will have you singing along and pumping your fist in no time. Props to Kung Fu for putting this out.
