I discovered them with the It’s Called The Easy Life EP and would jam it all the time, but ended up finding the debut album to be a bit too polished and poppy back then. I got back on board when they ditched the screamer and the post-hardcore roots at the same time. The first demos they put out with James as the sole singer were pretty good and it’s a shame they didn’t re-record them for Fools And Worthless Liars. This one was my favorite
When I saw them live on the last album run they didn't play anything from before ATCN, which is a shame as FAWL is still my favourite record by them, and I still feel like it's their best although there is certainly a greater variety of songwriting on their new stuff. Really liked TPIAFL and the new one has some decent stuff too. Hurts To Be lonely and Tracing Lines feel like the stand-outs.
Holy moly they've just been added to Slam Dunk "Celebrating 15 Years of Fools And Worthless Liars" LFG!
