    Born Blind from San Diego is back with a new album, the follow-up of last year's Pressing On. One For All contains old school hardcore, with a little new school, in the vein of No Innocent Victim. No wonder as three of the guys in the band were part of NIV for some time. Like Kurt who was the original drummer of that band. The music on this twelve song record is harder and better in sound than their previous recording. Singer Judd Morgan has an aggressive hoarse screaming sound which also reminds me of his former band. The current NIV sounds a bit more metallic and aggressive I think. That doesn't take away that Born Blind might be conceived as just another NIV. Whether that's fair to say is for you to decide. One For All undoubtedly contains first class old school material that people will certainly enjoy. Just listen to songs as Dead Hands and Look Into The Soul to hear great tracks.
