What do you guys think about them?

I'm personally a fan. I liked them back in the day when they were the generic skinny jean, v-neck, (for lack of a better term) emo kind of band. I find it cool how they've changed though.

They're lead singer Danny Worsnop and their lead guitarist Ben Bruce both have stated that they are so much more of a hard rock/metal band now. They've also stated that they take their music a lot more seriously than they did when their first record came out. This real shows.

I'll post an earlier song of their's and a newer song so you all can compare how different their albums and musicianship is. It may just be me but their second album just sounds so much tighter and more professional.

Album #1 Stand up and Scream:



Album #2 Reckless and Relentless

I can't take them seriously after that show they did where the wrestler gave them a workout. Whiney little b*tches!

I think that they are one of the best bands of all those USA new wave of post hardcore bands... I have seen live videos and they sound really aggressive. In this style I also like We Came As Romans, A Day To Remember and Attack Attack (Their latest album).

I thought that show was kind of funny. It has impacted their lives though. I've seen interviews and they have a whole new outlook on life it seems. Of course they still drink and all, but the way their lead singer specifically lives his life now is completely different. No more drunks and excessive drinking. It's just a cool thing to see.

They really do attack their music. And you are right, they are one of the best (they are British by the way wink.gif ).
Attack Attack's latest album was great as well.

Awesome that you like them Gabe!
