The debut album from this UK outfit has finally arrived and goes some way to recreate the live experience they have carefully crafted over the past three years. Well produced and packaged with 3 videos on the disc, the band have firmly placed a pin in the roadmap of their careers and drawn a line under everything they have achieved to date.

Crooned atop a faded, soupy, churning power chord similar to that which the Deftones laid out on "Bored", Everything For Some (EFS) take a slightly more energetic approach to their opener with a sprawling drum led intro that ignites like lighter fluid into a hardcore fused ball of energy. Introductions aside, EFS have that uncanny ability to do the sensitive/loud thing that the Deftones perfected and more importantly create fast, angry, loud tunes with the songwriting to back them up.

EFS wear their influences proudly upon their sleeve. Think of them as the 'Rage Against The Machine' of hardcore that will either have you shaking your head in disheartenment and thinking "no more!", or salivating at the lips for what Rage might have inspired instead of the dire music that was to follow in their wake. Before you stop reading, there is no offensive rapping in sight but instead a fiery and emotive brand of scratch like vocals in the vein of Snapcase. The vocals speak of revolution yet there is little revolutionary about the bands sound given the earlier comparisons.

However, it is still a welcomed addition to the many permutations that arose from a sound given birth to ten plus years ago and still sounding somewhat revitalized with this effort in 2004. "A Thought Refused" is a heavy and forceful album which stands alone as well as having the capacity to give them leverage towards greater efforts in the future. EFS produce original, engrossing sounds quite unlike many other new groups right now and that is reason enough to give up some of your time in order to check them out.
