I love it when Windows Media Player fucks up… according to that silly software I’m listening to the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band! Instead Rochester, New York’s Such Gold does the whole hardcore/pop-punk thing on ”Pedestals” that helped set bands like Set Your Goals on the map as well. The only difference with Set Your Goals is that these guys manage to maintain a rawer edge. Is it on purpose or because they don’t have the same studio budget to smooth things out? Guess we’ll find out after they’ve been signed to a bigger label and released a full-length there.
That’s probably the way it’s going to go for these guys because the material on “Pedestals” will most definitely appeal to all the fans of the genre. And while the guest vocals by the likes of Kenny Vasoli (The Starting Line) and Karl Buechner (Earth Crisis), Such Gold doesn’t need them to make this a release that will turn more than a few heads.
Score: 7 out of 10
