Cost: $1.00
There was little doubt this was going to be -core of some type (yes, yes, say what you want about dressing and expressing yourself however you want, but gauged ears and hipster looking members generally aren't a good sign if you're wanting to hear actual heavy metal), but I spent the buck as a precaution. I was ultimately pissed off because the word "metal" is part of the band's facebook link...That helped push me towards buying this, especially since it was an indie release with no label info and no thanks list, but it was clearly false advertising.
I suppose this is best labeled as some type of post-hardcore--I hesitate to even call this metalcore. They follow the typical formula of contrasting extreme and mellow material (both musically and vocally), but the disc is only EP-length, and they go a bit overboard with the clean vocalled melodic sections. I found nothing particularly compelling or interesting about the -core sections either.
