Review of "Show and Prove" by IZ of WMTD Zine Thornz Records is definitely an uprising label with great releases from No Retreat/Krutch, NJ Bloodline, Step To The Plate comp (feat. FCP, Down My Throat and more) and Strength For A Reason. And this eleven song cd is another winner for sure. Strength For A Reason play typical tough guy hardcore in the vein of Hatebreed with some more oldschool influences... a lot of sing a longs. I guess you could best describe it as modern metalcore with an old style touch to it... Like how bands like Madball and others used to be like 6/7 years ago. Songs like "Brotherhood", "Looking Back", "One Falls Off" and "Lesson Learned" are great anthems and are bound to make a club of kids fuck each other up. As you've probably noticed: the songtitles don't leave much for imagination and indeed most of the lyrics deal with brotherhood, hardcore, backstabbing and keeping true to yourself and your friends. This one is bound to end up in my cd-player regularly.
