    Twothirtyeight is so far an unknown band to me. Regulate The Chemicals is their upcoming album on Tooth & Nail Records. It features emo rock music. It's a raw, yet sober music. You can hear two guitars in collision with each other while you hear clean vocals on top of it. The guitars vary from gentle strumming to heavy outbursts. There's a lot of melody. The vocals are sometimes joined by other voices for some harmonies, like in Songs Will Write The Chords. This song is also enhanced with some orchestrations, though not much. The emphasis is on the raw, pure rock sound. Regulate The Chemicals is good and even though it's not my favorite style people who are into this kind of music might have found a new name to look out for. Give it a try.

This is the band's 2nd release on Take Hold Records. Let me get right to the point, these guys have put together a great album. While a lot of people may not take the time to catch the gist of these songs, but the ones that do are going to find that Two Thirty Eight's album is well worth the money. Although it is a genre-oriented product, this disk…
