Yeah, good band. I saw them live opening for Exodus on the Shovel Headed... tour and I remember thinking they were shit, haha!

I would listen to this, but my computer is doing that thing where it tells me that I need to install the newest version of flash player, when I am absolutely positive that I've already done this and it's just fucking with me. So I'll get back to you. Sounds good, though. "More punky four-chord riffs" sounds solid.

Edit: I can dig it. Ride the best - fuck the rest is rockin'. I could definitely pick up a bit of a Waste vibe on "Time's Up." And I'm a little disappointed that Hammerhead isn't a Flotsam and Jetsam cover.

I need to listen to more Overkill

I think that might be a myspace thing. It happens to me sometimes as well, so it can't be your computer's fault.

That was ages ago....maybe they WERE shit! Anyway, they're good now...

Any opinion on which is better, first album or second?

These sweet bastards from Liverpool released a second album at the end of last year called the Dividing Line. I only just got round to picking it up a few days ago. Anybody check it out? It's a different beast from their first one. When I put it on, I was trying to see how they compare to Municipal Waste, which is the natural thing to do, I guess, with any contemporary crossover act. I realised pretty quick that I was being unfair to SSS. Where their first album was mostly thrash with short track lengths, the hardcore influence is readily evident on this one. It's heavier, faster, the tracks are even shorter, and there's more of them. And they seem to mix the thrash riffs up with a more punky four-chord riffs than they did before. And I know the track names sound ridiculous, but trust me, these guys sounds fucking PISSED OFF all across this album. So yeah, I think they're different enough from the Waste to be appreciated entirely for their own merits. http://www.myspace.com/shortsharpshockUK There's quite a few tracks from the new album up there. The first one is a great track, but perhaps not the best example of what I'm talking about, so listen to a couple more as well. (I really like Times Up, Ride the best fuck the rest, and 3:06) Opinions?

Was the first track off of Doomsday for the Deceiver an Overkill cover? Because that's the song I'm thinking of. I need to listen to more Overkill as it is, though.
