CoC : Figure Four - No Weapon Formed Against Us : Review

Figure Four - _No Weapon Formed Against Us_
(Facedown, 2000)
by: Alex Cantwell (8 out of 10)

These youngsters from Winnipeg have whipped up one heck of a debut album on the fledgling Facedown Records. Don't ask me what a Figure Four is, but I can tell you that they are an extremely tight hardcore band, full of energy, fury and passion for their craft. I'm not exactly sure about their ages, but I saw them live not too long ago, and I can assure you they still have some years of school ahead of them. Their sound is a combination of all things East Coast hardcore with a strong Sick of it All influence, which I imagine they would humbly deny, but I'm telling you they are -that- good. There must be some kind of strong hardcore scene in or around Winnipeg, because these guys have obviously had some sort of strong influence on them regarding all facets of the band; their music, their image and their live show. I hope these guys continue in the path that they have chosen, because they are too good not to.
