understand | burning bushes and burning bridges

touring partners of both cable and elevate, southend's understand present here a pretty polished take on melodic hardcore/punk rock, pretty similar to samiam in fact. listening to it now probably at least 10 years since the last time, it's not quite as good as i remember it. maybe it's because i'm not as excitable as i once was, or maybe my attention span has shrunk too far to spend the time it deserves.

either way, i would love to have heard them without the major label sheen, preferably in somewhere like the garage in london after a few pints.

cd released by eastwest in 1995.

has the garage reopened yet?
