It's just like you've put on an old vinyl record. The openingtrack called Intro starts like that and with an accordion playing. "Hey, what's this?" You might wonder. But wait ninety seconds and it's time for the fundamental elements of Southtown which are basically heavy guitars, groovy rhythms and the rapping vocals of Sonny. This song is a foretaste of the album POD will release through Atlantic, called The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown. The leadvocalist writes it down in the inlay: "This EP consists of pre-production demos that we recorded for our debut album coming out on Altantic later this Summer. So be on the look out". Well, this is good stuff. Southtown is downright heavy and in your face. The other songs on this EP are older songs that were on previous albums like Draw The Line. I like this EP and I look forward. Get down with the Warrior EP!

Still, POD sold over 30,000 copies of…Similar sounding releases
