For.The.Win. – The Black & The Blue


“The Black & The Blue” is filled with the kind of punkrock I’m addicted to. It’s fast and gritty yet still has more melody and hooks than you can wrap your head around. The guys in For.The.Win. call it Bay Area posicore, I call it punkrock.

From opener “Let It Begin”all the way down the tracklisting to “Die Young”, the songs move at a brisk pace and just when you think that wow, this is a pretty cool song, they’re already on to the next one seeing as most of them don’t even reach the two minute mark.

This is nothing you haven’t heard before but “The Black & The Blue” does prove that For.The.Win. knows how to play the shit out of a couple of chords and sturdy rhythms.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
