It's dirty, powerful and incredibly mature.” – Lights Go Out “While still keeping the fast anthemic hardcore of their earlier days firmly to the fore, OFAC have extended their remit far beyond my expectations and, I'd wager, their own. Wether it's the new line up or what I don't know, but this record erases the memory of anything they've done before - it's a revitalised, dynamic maelstrom of a record that melds a whole bunch of elements together to produce something that sounds remarkably fresh and most importantly has its' own identity.” – Destroyed Human “An occasional burst of melody, the addition of some metallic elements into the mix and vocals that wail with frustration and despair throughout make this a keeper. Even the most discerning hardcore/punk rock aficionados would be hard pushed to not find something they like about this album." - Muckle Sandwich “I really want to take the piss, but I can't because they're music is really fucking good” – deaddeaddeadmusic “A lot of reviews I've seen for this record mention Comeback Kid. While that's a fair shout (especially on "New To This"), the first thing I thought of when spinning up this CD's first track "Futile Promises Of A Listless Mind" was undoubtedly Tragedy - their viscous oozy crust is splattered all over this.” – Capital Punishment “What struck me first about this record was the fact that despite wearing their influences firmly on their sleeves in the form of the aggression of bands like comeback kid, the melody and gruff vocals of hot water music and the riff power of more recent bands like cancer bats, it’s refreshing to hear these facets combined into an original sounding record.” – Everyting You Touch Turns To Gold “With their album showing so much energy I can imagine their live shows being one hell of a ride so I recommend you check these guys out for yourself” - Hitthefloor “…stark in die Modern Hardcore Kante und bestechen durch arschglattest Songwriting. Die Mischung macht's, die Mischung stimmt. Ich bin überrascht. Es ist doch immer wieder eine gelungene Abwechslung, das Werk einer einem zuvor völlig unbekannten Band zu hören und sich dann für einen kurzen Moment weggeblasen zu fühlen” - Got A Nerve “Klar, grundsätzlich neu ist und kann der Sound sowieso nicht sein, aber das was aus dem alten Gerippe „old school hardcore“ hier so rausgeholt wird ist schon gut. Selbst für mich auf Repeat, und für Old School Nerds ein sicherer Hit.” Poisonfree
That's great Daniel, so glad it's going well for your band, but how about uploading some of your music here for free downloads instead of just using this forum as another marketing tool? I think that would be much more appropriate seeing as we are an anti-capitalist, copyleft, and anarchist forum....thanks.
Sure, I'll do that when we come back from our tour. In the meantime here is our first demo from 2005 http://www.mediafire.com/?m3u8cztfus20jf8 and our 8 track EP from 2007 http://www.mediafire.com/?u52mjmtwemd If you wanna get our new album your gonna have to google it yourself or buy it from www.onlyfumesandcorpses.bigcartel.com. We spent money on recording it and getting it pressed etc of which we'd at least like to get some of back. Trying to get on tour anywhere outside of Ireland is a huge financial problem for us as ferries cost a shit load (apx £450 return to the UK) so giving away our new record for free would not really make that much sense.
Ah Daniel mate, you're a sell-out! Mind you... them cream cakes don't come cheap. I'll e-mail you some UK contacts for those gaps comrade.
