With Friends Like These

"More than once, With Friends Like These have been compared to both Jawbox and Jawbreaker. And those aren't names you just throw around—those are two of my favorite bands of all time. While singer Matthew Shaw does not have the same deep, memorable voice as the unrivaled J. Robbins, musically, the comparisons to the long-defunct trios are not far off. Some songs on their new album, Dead and Gone, are huge blasts of purposefully rough-around-the-edges rock; others are toned down and focused on effected guitar and melodies reminiscent of the early years of emo, when the tag didn't come with eyeliner and suicide pacts."
