One record that came out last year that I didn't really get around to listening to until the last couple of weeks is the second LP by Californian veteran band Winds Of Promise. 'Cut. Heal. Scar.' is a 10 song LP put out by Unity Worldwide Records, which is a label jointly owned and run by a dude from this band and a dude in Germany, and which appears to be the only record label in the world that doesn't have a website ir sell its releases directly.
I picked this record up from RevHQ, and as a result I got a yellow vinyl copy (out of 150).
This record is in the same vein as the first LP from a couple of years ago, which is a good thing I think. Sometimes you just want things to stay the same. The band features dudes from Unity, Uniform Choice, The Killing Flame, Ignite, and is in the same ballpark as all of those, but it mostly reminds me of Unity. I've always been a sucker for that sound and generally it's an easy listen. Easy to get into, easy to learn the songs and sing along after only a couple of listens. Overall a good melodic hardcore record if you like that kind of thing.

I remember not really being impressed when I first heard this band, but I recently dusted off the first Killing Flame album and was surprised at how much I enjoyed revisiting it. Maybe I should give Winds Of Change another chance.
...or Winds Of Promise...
I mean, don't get me wrong. This is enjoyable stuff, but it's hardly life changing. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it, but not if you didn't think it was the best thing you'd heard in years.
