My Awesome Compilation
Actions (Sore Point Records 08/08/05)

Pedestrian emo punk from the heart of Leicestershire demonstrates that there is no need for inaudible vocals and mile a minute riffs to convey defiance and bemusement, a point highlighted in opener ‘You Need Discipline’. The defiant Jim Adkins wrestling with Chris Demakes style vocals of Kris Roe add a bit of focus to the mix and produce a stoic feel. The punk spirit and evocation of human despair in; ‘Gave You Everything’ conveys feelings of fallibility with integrity and heart;

“I gave you, I gave you everything and you

took it all for granted.”
Building on the success of last year’s short offering ‘The View Is Amazing’, My Awesome Compilation have a positive edge to them in this full length foray that is borne out in the grab life advocating; ‘Set To Go’. Defiance enters the fray in the mood swinging ‘Actions’, representing the most abrasive number, almost creeping into the hardcore category, at times. There is no greater ingredient than a pinch of desperation and this is proffered in ‘As Always’, a number that tells of lack-less resigning to failure in true emo punk fashion. My Awesome Compilation have garnered quite a reputation for their uncompromising live shows and head out on a mammoth UK tour, in order to bolster that reputation and shower their new sound on what they hope will be growing crowds.
