Here's a melodic hardcore release that makes me think of Stretch Arm Strong. The vocals are not of that raw screaming type though. It's clear singing and screaming/calling. Never The Less has a punky feel to their music which is mainly because of the vocals. Songs like Too Far, 22 Years and the title-song are energetic packages with fast and slower parts. It's an intense music with a positive vibe. Although Never The Less didn't deliver a flawless album, they made a nice effort. Funny are some of the spoken samples like the one of a guy calling a chick for a date.

Mixing up the beats a little bit, makes a welcome change from the Ramones school of…Similar sounding releases
