"Verse is a defiant band. Not only have they defiled the rule that says hardcore bands can’t release three great LPs, they’ve upped the ante and released their most urgent, impassioned, and challenging album to date. In a scene were the demo is the best, or the bands are lucky to make it to two albums, Verse’s Aggression is a rare case where the two previous albums have set up the band for such a powerful declaration. Start to finish, Frontman Sean Murphy is screaming like he has nothing left inside, yet he involves a dynamic that adds more emotion and power to the musical backdrop that is a powerful, melancholic and monumental testament to the unrestratined greatness of modern hardcore.

While on previous albums, Verse always had the anger expected from hardcore bands, Aggression answers the time old question “what are these bands so angry about?” Unlike the mid-90s, we actually have a destructive war, a foreign policy disaster, and an economy that is failing daily. Verse takes these urgent issues, but they channel that feeling beyond the here and now. What’s here is an album of 12 tracks that channels abstract and personally distant ideas such as the current war, disconnect with the domestic political landscape, and the failing social structures of our nation- and Murphy connects these broad, sometimes unfathomable themes and makes it a personal relationship. Murphy stated, “I have watched people go through some real hard times. I feel like I'm trying to not only speak for myself, but anyone that might feel the way I feel.” And every last theme on this record, from the clear meaning of “NO WAR” at the end of “Old Guards, New Methods,” to the more diverse imagery used in songs like “Suffering To Live, Scared of Love” the message is expressed in diverse ways, and at the most literal levels-it avoids the common pitfalls of simple political sloganeering"

Aggression hit stores June 10th 2008. As part of their international touring for 2008 and 2009, Verse will play: Galway (TBC) on Monday 8th of December, the Greystones Theatre on Tuesday 9th December 2008 for an All Ages show and Eamonn Doran's in Dublin on Wednesday 10th of December.

Aww someone should bring the Hypocrites back to life. Can't immagine how entertaining must be the sight of Barney on stage being a frontman.

LET'S GET FUCKED UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

 

[Space]

LET'S GET FUCKED UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

OK

 

[AnarchoBob]

Attention Belfast people that are going to this, around what time are you folks getting the bus at (looking at yous Cormac and Kev)?

 

[Cormcolash]

I'm already in Dublin Bob, on official business.
Kev Ginger Bones aka Vivian from the Young Ones will presumably be getting the bus down though.
Everyone should go to this and choke the singer from Verse with his own mic lead.

 

[AnarchoBob]

Yes, he was saying you perhaps would be joining the unfortunate bunch, but seems it will be all in the hands of the ginger wan.

 

[DeAd_KeV]

LET'S GET FUCKED UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

sound advice!

 

[DeAd_KeV]

boosh

 

[thenoise000]

looking forward to apesofwrath and dead wrong tonight.
forging friendships were deadly in galway on monday.
and i enjoyed verse way more than i thought i would.

 

[AnarchoBob]

I enjoyed Verse less than I thought I would. Actually enjoyed Cornered more than Verse. But meh...

And the people from Belfast that did not come suck balls. You missed the weird drunken Mancunian and his fucked up stories outside the bus station.
