Start Today (Plovdiv sXe)

Here's a band that no longer exist. Which is a shame giving the fact that they were really good. Pure melodic straight edge hardcore coming from Plovdiv, Bulgaria that had it's small but loyal fanbase. Unfortunately they were active for about two years and earlier this year they disbanded. During this short period they've managed to record and release a four-song EP titled "Blindness" which showcases their raw talent. The EP grabs the attention with it's melodic riffs and conscience lyrics touching as such topics like politics, environment and the overcoming of everyday hardships. Their music feels very angsty and angry at time which adds to their overall dark tone of their music. And yet positive attitude seems to encompass this band despite some darker songs. Definitely a good band with lots to offer.
