Collision of the spiraling modern world and that of the desire for Her service...
"...Out of nowhere the band has crafted a passionate and energetic landmark of an album that by far surpasses their previous efforts and redefines the modern hardcore punk design..."

"...108 are masters of controlled chaos and it's obvious in the playing that they know exactly what they're doing, no matter how out of control the music gets. Guitarist Vic Dicara sounds like old school Greg Ginn at times..."

"...It's a vicious, violent and, in these times of uninspiring and unoriginal heaviness, bloody vital album. It proves 108 are still more than capable of writing something incendiary, it shows just how special this scene can be and it should start fresh fires under a whole new spate of bands. Don't lack the motion to move to the new beat..."

"...These 13 tracks are the bands most ambitious so far and they have shown what most of hardcore and the rest of the underground is missing...emotion...5 out of 5..."

i dream of a world where we think about who is next and make it cleaner than how we found it. where we mean what we say and only say what we mean and where ideals are meant to better ourselves and where we aren't afraid to say i can't. where sorry is a liberating word and thank you comes from the heart and where we don't just watch but we decide to act. where we refuse to live only until its time to die. where we refuse to live only until its time to die...
Apparently words aren't free...
"Direct Expression. Bypass mind. Bypass intellect. Self to Sound. Against the dead trend. The robot me. The modern social entity stripped of color and vibrancy. Not philosophy. Not religion. True self expressed in sound."
In February 2007 the band recorded their first new album after reforming, A new beat from a dead heart, with Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studios (Converge), which was released on Deathwish Inc. in June 2007. In support of this new album, 108 played shows across the US, Europe and South America.
In February of 2009 108 flew into Boston, MA for a weekend to record what was originally slated to be a new 4 song EP but by Sunday afternoons departure had turned into a 10 song LP entitled 18.61. From the inception of this recording session there was a desire to record a raw and stripped down record and once in the studio things developed so quickly that it was clear that recording just an EP was out of the question thus the new LP was born. The recording was engineer by Alex Garcia-Rivera (ex-Give Up The Ghost) and features Mike Justian (Trap Them, Unearth) on drums. 18.61 is slated for release on Deathwish Inc. later in 2009.
