It seems like ages since Facedown Records delivered a solid straight edge, youth crew hardcore record. It hasn't been that long but with all the metalcore/deathcore super breakdown music the label's put out, Down With the Ship, the new ep from Bel-Air, Maryland hardcore band xLooking Forwardx, feels like something refreshing and new from the label.
xLooking Forwardx's return is extremely solid. And if you're a fan of the band, you know exactly what you're getting. It's straight edge hardcore at it's finest. Hard hitting, circle pit inducing, fun hardcore with a message. There's a Refused influence in some of the guitar riffs that I really enjoy.
Down with the Ship is a great hardcore ep.
