If you've ever heard of the Deviates, you can get an idea of what 1208 sounds like. The only thing is that 1208 is alot more powerful, yet at the same time more melodic than The Deviates are. This band is very chorus centered, and FIP gains alot of power from it.

1208 perfectly showcases their angst and melody on songs like "Outside Looking In", where the title is used a powerful refrain during the chorus. Other songs like Lies that Lie provide fast, furious skate-punk music, and excellent songs like "Just Anyone" provides both of these.

The songwriting talents of this band are also excellent. Few bands, no matter genre, can write this well, and it's an excellent talent 1208 doesn't put to waste. 1208 is another excellent Cali punk band, but with an attack only few other bands can match. This album, in short, is awesome.

I remember when 1208 was Nonox 9 back in the day. THis is a really great band and they've really evolved. If you like punk check these guys out. ITs cool stuff.


Great new band!   March 28, 2002
I just checked out this band a while back on Amazon[.com], and the tracks sounded great, so I bought the CD. And man, it kicks arse! So much variety, and every track knocks you off your feet - powerful, upbeat tunes that leave you wanting more. Get this if you love punk rock of any kind, it's got a great blend!
