WHY *YOU* ARE THE RACIST AGEIST MISANDRIST BIGOT IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT ICE & WHY YOUR OWN COUNTRY HATES YOU SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY LEAVE WITH THE ILLEGALS YOU WANNA PRETEND TO SUPPORT

So let me get this straight... you complain about the cost of living and the cost of homes... yet you also want our government to keep giving resources and homes to people who broke our laws in order to come here? That's called "Suicidal Empathy" and you only feel that way because a skumfuk communist who infiltrated American politics jive-talked you into supporting policies that only come back to hurt you in the end. If you don't support ICE it's probably because: 1) You're an illegal alien. Aka a criminal trespasser. 2) Your family are illegal aliens. Aka criminal trespassers. 3) You're a privelidged white person who lives in an area where you probably aren't impacted by the crimes these illegal aliens are commiting in American communities. Crimes like rape and murder. Aka: You're a complete fucking moron who needs to keep their dumb mouth shut before your ill-informed suicidal empathy for murders and rapists who fled persecution in their own coun...

Album Reviews: Rise From The Embers by The Softer Side

 The Softer Side is back in spectacular fashion with their latest release Rise From The Embers. This trio led by Brian Crick from Jacksonville, Florida has recently become a quartet with the addition of former Yellowcard bassist Peter Mosley. It has been 8 years since their last release but, you know what they say; "good things come to those who wait."

The E.P. starts off with a short (24 seconds) intro track titled "Ashes of Recollection" which features a foreboding quote from William Manchester. Like the embers of a flame, the tension builds until it bursts into the albums title track "Rise From The Embers."

Like the mythological phoenix which rises from the ashes of it's predecessor with renewed vigor; "with the sunrise there is hope / rise from the embers still aglow / tomorrow will be better than today." What emerges from the flame is as equally powerful as it is beautiful.

The music is well written and the lyrics are both catchy and meaningful. "Nothing To Say" is perhaps one of the most powerful songs on the album with a message along the lines of "Face Down" by fellow FL pop-punk/rock artists Red Jumpsuit Apparatus."

The vocals are smooth and incredibly listenable. Our only complaint is that we want to hear more! However, despite being labeled as an E.P. the album clocks in at a little under half an hour long (25 minutes). So we can't complain really!

Our Score:
9/10 - A solid release with powerful messages that will leave you wanting more.
