From The Archives: A FAITH CALLED CHAOS

I remember when I first gave A FAITH CALLED CHAOS a spin. I had just gotten their debut full-length titled Forgive Nothing from Volcom Entertainment, a label I had grown a liking for because they had VAUX, and VAUX was awesome. The fellas in AFCC weren’t exactly VAUX, but they did do some pretty neat things on that album which turned out to be their sole release. They captured the anger of hardcore and the swagger of classic rock to write quick, screamy, riff-driven songs like “Circa 98″ and “Forgive Nothing.” What’s intriguing about all of this is that they were perhaps one of the first bands to really nail down this meshing, something countless bands have tried to do since (although for some reason “classic” has been replaced by “southern” – and it almost always fails). You likely won’t ever hear about this band again, but if you’re down for a song or two, head here. You can also read Jordan’s review of the 2004 release here.
