    It's fast, it's angry, it's offensive, it's out of control. This is the best way to describe Boston's For The Worse. They are very opinionated and political but are said to have no political agenda but they tackle just about every issue. They have songs on issues from abortion to the Catholic priest scandal, to our justice system to the war on drugs. They also call out the whole Boston hardcore scene and tell them to stop being so watered down and come back to the way it used to be.

    Their style is old school hardcore aggression. It's not youth crew and it's not metal. It's just very fast and very aggressive. If you like the anger of Blood For Blood you will probably love For The Worse but don't expect the same sound. It's not bad for what it is but it's not really my bowl of cereal.
