Stick To Your Guns - Better Ash Than Dust
Review by Steeve Henry
Better Ash Than Dust is the fifth EP by American hardcore punk band Stick To Your Guns. Released in 2016, the album features five tracks that showcase the band's signature aggressive style, socially conscious lyrics, and heavy instrumentation.
The album's opening track, "Better Ash Than Dust," sets the tone with a fast-paced, guitar-driven intro that quickly gives way to frontman Jesse Barnett's powerful vocals. The lyrics deal with themes of oppression and resistance, urging listeners to stand up for their beliefs and fight against injustice.
"Universal Language" follows with a slower, more melodic sound that still packs a punch. The song's lyrics touch on the importance of communication and understanding in a world that often seems divided.
Other standout tracks include "No Tolerance," a blistering critique of bigotry and hatred, and "The NeverEnding Story," which features guest vocals from Terror's Scott Vogel and tackles the idea of perseverance in the face of adversity.
