This is one solid album. Vocally they sound a lot like Starmarket and Millencolin, which is obviously due to their Swedish accent. The songs are at times driving, yet at other times melodic. Overall the album is very creative, original and refreshing. Even though the songs are not all out pop tunes, they still come across as being very catchy. The production is right on, the drumming is super tight, the guitars creative, and the vocals very powerful. Kevlar definitely has the whole post-punk formula down, yet they still present a very original sound. If you're looking for one solid release, look into this one.
