False Idle - Threat

False Idle's Threat is easily the best album Thumper Punk has ever released. In fact, I don't think it's crazy to say it's the best Christian punk record by a band not named Mxpx in the last 10 years.

Threat has a modern old school vibe. As in it feels like a mid-90's record. It reminds me of old school Offspring, Bad Religion, and Craig's Brother. Threat is a hard biting record.

Sideswipe is a 52 second mosh pit inducing song that kicks of Threat. The feedback moves right into  On Tomorrow, where you mosh pit will continue until you stop to offer your voice on the gang vocal led pre-chorus. Facade introduces a little more melody  and, dare I say, "pop" into the album. One Cause, One Fight is one of my favorites on the record. Less circle/mosh pit and more driving bass line and catchy chorus that made bands like The Offspring and Bad Religion great punk bands. The album's title track sounds like a more punk b-side from Green Day's Warning.

Fans of late 90's punk will love Threat, just as much as I did. There's a little something for everybody. From pop punk elements (without being Blink 182) to fast circle pit songs and great sing-a-longs, Threat will appease punk rock fans.
