Pain of Truth / Sunami "Coast to Coast" 12"

Blue / Green Vinyl. 

Coast to Coast finds Long Island, New York's Pain of Truth and San Jose, California's Sunami each taking on a pair of tracks.

Pain of Truth's contributions — "Shattered Past" and "The Enemy" — drive forward with gusto and vocalist Michael Smith riding the metallic hardcore groove with an authoritative flow that reminds you why they've become a headlining act in the last few years. There's countless bands in this stylistic lane, but Pain of Truth are in a class all their own.

Sunami's side of Coast to Coast keeps the rugged energy going with "Doubt" and "Fence Walker," with each song showcasing various sides of the Bay Area heroes' musical arsenal. Yes, the more breakdown-hungry fans of the group will be satiated, but there's some nasty work going on in the speed departments as well.
