It's not too often that you'll see "recommended if you like Iron Maiden, Bullet For My Valentine, and As I Lay Dying" when talking about one specific band, but that's exactly what happened when I received the press sheet for Affiance's sophomore album, The Campaign. With nearly two years between the band's previous release entitled No Secrets Revealed and the forthcoming The Campaign, expectations seem to be fairly high amongst fans of the band. Two years is quite a while between albums, but I'm glad that Affiance took their time with this album because it shows that they wanted to improve and not release a half-assed album just to silence their pleading fans. The Campaign has a release date of November 13th through Bullet Tooth Records.

A delightfully sleazy low-fi trio of numbers is displayed on the self-titled debut EP from Chicago's Stone Cold Outlaw.
The band's been gradually building up a profile and have been picked up as openers by the likes of Tracii Guns' League of Gentlemen as well as appearing at the Rock 'N' The Valley Festival alongside Warrant and Skid Row. They were also featured at Chicago's Rocklahoma launch party at The Double Door, co-headlining with fellow 'Windy City' rockers Hessler.
"Excess" slices this EP wide open with Mark Shred's razor like riff over the punky rasp of Polish lead vocalist Karina Sunqueen, who's out on the town 'being your fantasy, shots of whiskey and getting frisky' -- not a great rhyme to be sure but trust me, it works.
