Far From Finished-Living in the Fallout
Think Fast Records
July 17, 2007

I was in love with this album from the first note, and the enjoyment only grows with each new listen. Its so fresh to hear an actual new punk band taking the scene (or at least my ears) by storm. I am completely blown away by the gruff punk rock that Far From Finished play, and I'm already eager to pick up their older album (East Side of Nowhere, which was released in 2005) to add to my collection.

Far From Finished have a very sincere sound to them, a band reaking with integrity and honesty. Forget the fact that these songs are instantly memorable and catchy enough to sing along to by the second chorus, they sound like they are playing music for all the right reasons. Picture a mixture between Swingin' Utters and The Ducky Boys, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what this band sounds like, only with more sing along parts.

Far From Finished easily surpassed any expectations that I had of them. Living in the Fallout has become one of, if not THE, Album of the Year, in my opinion, and Far From Finished are climbing their way up my favorite band list. I'll be listening to this album for a long time to come.
