American Steel: Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts

(Fat Wreck, 2009)

"We only need a song to dance to, we only need a chorus to sing along to"

Discovery: See first AmSteel entry.

Result: This album is definitely poppier than their last, and there is no lack of gang-vocals making this a sing-a-long pop rock record. While I prefer Destroy Their Future, this record has some great hook-y tracks that I hope will translate well live. I have yet to see them play any shows since this release, so the true test is yet to come.

Stand-out Tracks: "Emergency House Party", "Tear the Place Apart", "Safe and Sound"
