These guys come from Manchester, New Hampshire and after their first EP "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" , this one´s their first full length album. And what the fuck is that???? An asskickin melodic Oi smasher, definitely one of the best US releases i heared in the last 2 or 3 years.

First of all the production is just great. What a sound, the vocals are powerfull,the instruments are exactly tuned. When i was listening to the album the first time, my thoughts were, that this one must be a major label production. The songs are so fucking melodic and rough at the same time, i cannot find the right words for it. "Queen City Eve" for example is a song about their Hometown Manchester which comes directly to my mind and forces me to push the repeat button again and again."Chopping Mall" is a very funny song about killer robots in a shopping mall.My favorite song,ok all songs are great, but the one who is the icing on the cake "Vacation". The last 4 songs are acoustic versions from songs on this album. A perfect ending for a perfect release.

No more question, the Yellow Stitches produced a hit album, which is a must buy for everyone who loves melodic Oi music. The CD came out on Brass City Boss Sounds in a digipack-version.
