Sounds Like
The Village Voice, NYC: "Capitol City newcomer band OFFICIAL makes its NYC debut at CBGBs with a high-energy breed of D.C.-style hardcore, interspersed with speed-metal riffs (think Motorhead meets AC/DC meets Black Flag)".
This is the show to hit if you like your music hard, fast and full of vengeance.
Monument Snowboards DVD Intro (featuring "Intro" and "Lies" from Notice:
Theyre comprised of three hard chargin individuals from various east coast locales- call it fate or divine intervention- hell give it a name, but these three rockers were fortunate to find themselves last year in the nations capital all at the same time.
Striving to encourage cross-pollination between the spirit and sound of punk, the craft and tradition of ass kicking rock & roll and a general disdain for the confinements of mainstream everything.
OFFICIAL will boil your blood, raise the hairs on your arms and tickle your monkey nerve. Theyre reaching for the heavens while keeping one eye on the gutter.
Like the shaky ascent of a homemade rocketship, OFFICIAL's style constantly teeters on cataclysmic oblivion; shards of chords slip away and grind against each other like a 6 car pile up. Buried between the static and the void, vocals are folded in and elevate the endeavor to fist-pumping, room-on-fire glory.
